TOWN OF HALTON HILLS – In response to the elementary school closure, the Town of Halton Hills is offering a PLAY FOR THE DAY program on Friday, January 11, 2013 from 9:00am-4:00pm for children ages 4-13.

Extended supervision is available from 8:00-9:00am and 4:00-5:30pm at an additional cost of $10.00 (course code 82503).

“This is a stressful situation for many people”, says Mayor Bonnette. “We are attempting to relieve some of the pressure parents and guardians may feel by providing a safe place for their children to spend the day”.

Activities will be led by trained Town Program Leaders, and will include games, crafts, play, and outdoor activities. Children are required to dress in comfortable play clothes, to bring clean indoor running shoes, lunch/snacks, and outdoor clothing including mittens, hats, and boots.

Advance registration is REQUIRED and available in person at the Civic Centre and the Gellert Community Centre, and through both Reg-e and Tele-Reg at www.haltonhills.ca.
