ONGOING EVENTS

Looking for new things to do with your child? Do you think your child would enjoy participating in science? If your child is between the ages of 3-7, they are eligible to sign-up for an online study with researchers at the University of Waterloo. Participation is free and the studies are quite fun for children! Children get a certificate at the end and a chance to win a $50 Amazon gift card. A typical session involves a 25-minute Zoom video call with their researchers. If you would like to sign-up, please visit https://www.uwcoral.ca/sign-up

Food4Kids Waterloo Region works alongside daily nutrition programs in elementary schools to identify gaps in children’s access to food and makes sure that no child in our community goes hungry during the 84 days of school breaks and the 40 weekends of the school year. Food4Kids Waterloo Region helps over 700 children in our region each year. With our support, we hope to meet the needs of the over 2,500 children in the Waterloo Region who experience hunger. 

This one-hour, interactive and entertaining show is on April 10th, 6-7 pm, right in the comfort of your home! Tailored toward children, the show welcomes the entire family!
