Eneey, meeny, miney, moe, with 340 kilometers of paved pathways, where do we go, as a family, in safety, and with washrooms, please, all in a row? Calgarians are blessed with one of the most extensive recreational multi-use pathway systems in North America. It is Calgary's number one recreational facility. There is something for everyone, so grab your bicycle and your walking shoes, pack a picnic and explore this wonderful facility.
With September comes the opportunity for exploring new programs and extracurricular activities for your young family. The possibilities are seemingly endless, ranging from music and dance to gymnastics, sports and science.
There's no need to get cold feet about spending a winter day outdoors. Bundle up and head out for some snow fun.
I'm sitting with a group of three-year-olds at the Green Door Nursery School in southwest Calgary. I've interrupted them while they are busy assembling Mr. Potato-Heads and sculpting play dough to ask, "Where do you love to go when it's nice out?" Little Anne-Marie, her blonde pony tails bobbing frantically, shout-whispers in my ear. "My favorite thing is to go to the park with Grandma. I like the slide but I like the swings best!" I try prompting the group with some formal names of Calgary attractions but it seems Anne-Marie speaks for the class - the big hit with three-year-olds is 'the park'.
