Spring has sprung!
The snow is finally melting, flowers are about to bloom (fingers crossed!), and the grass will soon be green. As spring rolls in, like a breath of fresh air, you can’t help but feel more energized. The longer days and warmer weather make it easier to spend time outdoors—whether it’s taking a walk, playing at the park, or just sitting together with a fun book. These little moments help strengthen your family bonds and create special memories you’ll hold onto.
In this deluxe edition of Winnipeg Parent, you’ll find some great book recommendations from Winnipeg Public Libraries that are perfect for you and your little one. There are helpful articles on how to challenge your kids, the importance of raising resilient kids, staying active as a family, and why outdoor play is so important.
This issue also gives you a solid starting point for thinking about summer camps. We’ve done the legwork for you in our Summer Camps Section, so you can check out camps focused on the arts, STEM, sports, and more. Camps are such a great way for kids to grow, build confidence, and develop life skills like independence and teamwork.
Finally, why not get involved in your community this spring? Check out the CancerCare Manitoba Foundation’s Challenge for Life. It’s a 5k walk perfect for families of all ages, and it’s a great way to get involved and build connections.
Spring’s a time to enjoy the now, while thinking ahead—let’s make the most of it!
