New Centres

A host of new centres were waiting to welcome the Kiddoes back after the holiday.  The introduction of the "Ice Fishing Shack" has been a great success. The Kiddoes are having a blast learning how to ice fish, learning how read a fishing poster for information, playing with indoor snowballs, exploring snow with animals, and dressing up. However, in order to play in this centre, one has to obtain an ice fishing permit first!!
