Is cabin fever setting in with your household? This long weekend is sure to be the perfect cure. The City of Weyburn has teamed up with local organizations to help you shake the frost by offering a full slate of Family Fun Day activities on February 19th. Spanning across several of Weyburn's favorite leisure amenities, families will be able to take part in tons of free programming and enjoy special discounts at the Credit Union Spark Centre. Leisure Services Manager Ryan Dale explained that it's all part of the City's mission to make leisure accessible for every resident.

"We really want to focus on our 'Leisure for All' vision," said Dale. "That means inclusive, accessible activities that foster community spirit and family bonds. We really feel that Family Day embodies this, and with the diverse number of free events available, we feel that every member of our community can enjoy this weekend and have access to the events no matter what their needs are. I really think this will be a great weekend in the City of Weyburn!"

To further contribute to the accessibility of the Family Fun Day events, the Weyburn Oilwomen will unveil their new "Skate Shed" at the Tom Zandee Sports Arena. Similar in idea to their free "Sled Shed", visitors to the Tom Zandee Arena will be able to borrow skates and helmets during the free public skating session scheduled for Monday. The Oilwomen Association will also be on-site at the venue, offering free hot chocolate to Family Day skaters.

Other free activities on Family Day include swimming at the Leisure Centre, a scavenger hunt organized by the Weyburn Curling Club, and trying out lacrosse or softball with our local clubs at the Spark Centre. Face Painting, a coloring event, and mural painting are also on the list, adding a dash of culture to the mix. And for the techies of the town, a special 50% discount is being offered on the Spark Centre's simulator room.

"You can play about 13 different sports in the simulator room," said Dale. "There's hockey, basketball, golf, zombie dodgeball, which is one of our most popular games, you name it."

On top of the discount on simulator room bookings, the Spark Centre will also offer a Toonie drop-in rate to help celebrate Family Day. Weyburn residents will be able to access popular amenities such as the MNP Play Place, the indoor walking track, the mini gym and Mainil Field for just $2 per person. 

 

"We are extremely excited to be offering all these opportunities with the city of Weyburn!"
