2.

If you have little ones interested in Ringette than be sure to check out the free “Come Try Ringette” events happening this weekend. All you need is a pair of skates, a helmet and winter gloves. The rest is just fun!

4. The Fringe Festival is back! It’s the largest theatre festival in Atlantic Canada and with some great family friendly performances planned such as “You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown”, it’s definitely worth checking out.
