What the hell to do with da kids



So my first post is about what to do in the city cheap cheap with the kids this summer. Now you must appreciate the sacrifice I am making, long line ups with the kids makes me want to plunge a knitting needle into my frontal lobe but I am willing to let you cut in line.

Scadding Court Community Centre

Starting today and running until Saturday June 20.

They are running their Gone Fishing Program. They empty the pool,fill it with fresh water and dump a bunch of trout in it. for a mere $ 2.00 per fish you and the kids can fish in the pool- no joke

CN Tower
July 6.
Up to two kids get in free with every one adult admission purchased. This is great because as us single parents know, most deals only allow you one child per adult. Bout time they figured it out.

Kids CBC
July 8th & 9th.
This is easily the best deal in town. I pull the kids out of daycare and we go every year and it is always a great day. The whole main floor and outdoor space is dedicated to all things Kids CBC.Sid and Patty,Bo on the Go, Super Why will all be in attendance. Tons of freebees, lots of activities and the Doodleboops will be preforming FREE ( Ha to those people who paid $75.00 to see them on tour ) Get there early, there's lots to do.
