Parents and caregivers of tots and preschoolers can get tips from the pros next week about how to keep their little ones safe and active.
Organized by the Tri-Cities Early Childhood Development Committee, the annual Tri-Cities Healthy Kids Fair — geared for families and support workers with newborns and children aged up to six — is on Thursday, April 18 in Port Moody.
Representatives from community groups and other organizations will be on hand to talk to parents and provide information on a wide range of topics including recreation and literacy.
And visitors to the fair will be able to get a free children’s book while kids can scoop some outdoor toys to take home.
