March Break Madness: Past Times on Planet Earth!

Updated: Mar 8, 2022

Are you excited for March Break? So are we! In this blog post, we'll give you a sneak peek at some of the fun programs that we have planned for those of you taking a break from school!


Every year, we try to come up with a theme that will appeal to everyone. In past years, we've had fun with themes such as outer space and animals from around the world. This year, we're pleased to be back for our first in-person March Break in two years! We thought it would be fun to offer programming centred around people and animals that inhabited our planet in the past. Read on to learn about all the fun activities we have in store for you!



Dynamic Dinos Storytime - Does your little one love dinosaurs? So do we! We have a super-special March Break story session all about the wonderful Prehistoric world of dinosaurs. Come stomp, sing, and roar along with us!

Terrific Turtles: Modern Day Dinosaurs - In this joint event with the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority, join their education staff to learn more about the turtles who live in Ontario, how they have remained unchanged since ancient times, and how we can help to protect them in the future!

Past Times Painting: Pop Art - Everyone can make art, and anything can be art – that’s what the pop art movement of the 1950s and 60s was all about.
