There’s again been some talk in the community of where to find before and after school care. This continues to be an issue that no one seems to have a solution to. If you do, or know someone who does, please contact pcayoungfamilies@gmail.com.

Parent & Tot Playgroup: The drop- in playgroup meets the first Friday of each month at the Hall. The September 6th date had a good turnout out of 10 parents and a dozen kids. They played indoors with tunnels, slides, an obstacle course, basketball, etc. The next date is October 4th from 10:30 to 11:30. No fee is charged to attend. If you are new to our community with a young family, this is a great way to get to know your neighbours and find out what programs are available in the Priddis area. This event is also listed on the PCA website, www.priddisalberta.com.
