I absolutely love summer in Manitoba! Our weather is perfectly hot, our lakes and beaches are incredible, there are festivals galore. There is so much to do right here in our own Manitoba backyard!
With another school year almost in the books, it’s time to think about enjoying the next couple of months! Summertime is a great time to connect with friends and family at a local park for an outdoor BBQ or a camping trip to the Whiteshell. My favorite spot is Nutimik Lake, it’s spectacular but I’m biased because I grew up there!
The Fringe Festival is great for all ages to explore our city, take in great theatre and support our arts. The Folk Festival at Birds Hill Park is a highlight for many and Folkorama takes you to other countries and celebrates so many cultures.
In this issue of Winnipeg Parent, you will find fun ways to keep kids of all ages busy this summer and how to make the most of your summer. We talk about walking for your mental health, keeping kids from summertime brain-drain and working on business ideas with teens.
Good luck with the final weeks of school, and get outside and enjoy summer!
