The Thompson Crisis Centre’s annual Healthy Family Fun Event takes place this Saturday.

It runs from 3 to 6 pm at the TRCC gym and is free to attend.

Mary Demare, Outreach worker with the Crisis Centre has the details.

“This includes bouncy houses for the kids, a fish pond, animal balloons, face painting, karaoke singing and also a silent auction.”

Demare says this is an opportunity for people both in and outside of Thompson to gather together as a community.

The Crisis Centre also organizes and participates in events such as the “Take Back the Night Walk” in September, and the “16 Days of Activism”, which culminates with a vigil on December 6th to remember the victims of the Montreal Massacre.  

Both events recognize the occurrence of violence, especially gender-based violence,  and show support in the fight against all violence.
