Hello Families,
We’d like to wish you all Happy Holidays and all the best for the New Year to come!
The Peter-McGill Community Council and Families Downtown will be closed from December 20th to January 3rd.
Most activities and organisations often also take a break for the holiday season, so check our calendar to see what is happening around you.
For those who enjoyed the ice rink in Cabot Square last winter and were waiting for the new one this year, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer until January 16th to put on your skates. You can already reserve a free pair of skates for the season by filing out this form (limited sizes and quantities available).
🏫 Reminder for the new year: registration for primary school will start January 5th until January 25th. Having trouble with your child’s registration process or you want more information? Contact us to book an appointment in person.
