It was birthday cake and balloons at the YMCA Children’s Village on Sunday (June 3) as the facility celebrated its 11th anniversary.
Held in conjunction with YMCA Healthy Kids day, the event featured a number of healthy and safety related demonstrations and activities.
The YMCA Children’s Safety Village teaches hands-on safety lessons on indoor and personal safety as well as road safety in the outdoor child-size village.
“This is a really great place. We put about 10,000 elementary school kids a year through here every year with the help of both the police and fire departments,” said Shaun Elliott, CEO of the YMCA of Western Ontario.
