Active play is the theme of this year's Tri-Cities Healthy Kids Fair taking place Thursday, April 21 at the Port Moody recreation complex.
The fair is free and will provide parents of children from birth to age six with information on safety, health, literacy, recreation, child care and community programs.
Play is an important part of a child's development and, to encourage active play, families will receive a free children's book and fun things to play with outside.
Snacks will also be catered by students from the Gleneagle secondary school Culinary Arts program and there will be more than 30 interactive displays, including a multicultural circle time, Port Moody Public Library storytime and a bouncy castle.
Interpretation will also be on site for families whose first languages are Cantonese, Mandarin, Korean and Farsi.
As well, donations of non-perishable items for the Share food bank will be collected.
The event runs from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the PoMo rec complex, 300 Ioco Rd.
