Family Participation

Family Participation encourages parents to participate in a variety of ways to strengthen both the relationships we share and to maintain and preserve our buildings and property. We need family participation to make the Society successful.  
First and foremost, it is important for children to see their parents be part of their childcare experience. For a family to truly feel that our Centre is “a home away from home”, the family needs to participate in the daily life of the Centre.
This could look like:
- Spending some time at arrival and departure with your child and finding out what they have been doing at the Centre
- Showing interest and asking about the documentation panels and wall displays
- Participating in family events such as potlucks, parties, and our Mayday Float
- Joining us on a field trip
- Joining in on snack time
- Sharing a special talent you have with the children such as gardening, an art activity, cooking, woodworking or ??? ...
We welcome family involvement and we look forward to sharing new experiences with families and their children at the Children's Centre.

Secondly, it is important that families understand that their fees only cover approximately 50% of the operational costs of the Society. The rest of the costs are covered by gaming revenues, government grants, and fundraising. The Society needs family participation in fundraising activities and the upkeep and maintenance of the buildings, equipment, and grounds. There is a variety of activities a family may choose to participate in. 
Some of these include: our bi-annual Goods and Services Auction, cutting rounds, chopping and stacking our firewood and kindling, selling raffle tickets, organizing and selling at our annual Garage Sale fundraiser, driveway maintenance, our laundry and many more. All of these family participation jobs contribute to our overall success and we truly enjoy working and playing along side of our families.
