National Child Day will be commemorated locally following the Santa Parade tomorrow afternoon.
Canada declared November 20th as National Child Day in 1993 to celebrate children and for citizens to remember that children need support, encouragement, and respect in order to grow to their full potential.
Here, Marymound’s Penny Brenton shares what this year’s celebration will entail.
"This event is free of charge and this year’s theme is the right to participate. The parade starts at 12:30 then the National Child Day celebration starts at 2:30 at the TRCC, beginning with opening ceremonies and the tree lighting”
It will also include a scavenger hunt, mini putt, Christmas crafts, and karaoke.
The event is being organized by the Hello Parents Network
