PlayPods could be coming to a park near you this summer!
The PlayPods which are essentially small storage containers will move around to 12 communities this summer, spending 2 weeks in each community at the local park, giving your kids a chance to play with things like the Imagination Playground, Mini Scooters, life-sized board games, and more. The Play Pods will be open Friday nights from 6-8pm and Saturdays and Sundays from 11am-3pm. This weekend you’ll find them at Merlin Kinsmen Park, Thamesville Ferguson Park and Ridgetown Kiwanis Park.

National Fishing Week continues until Sunday. It’s a chance to encourage Canadians to get outdoors and enjoy the benefits of recreational fishing. You can fish through Sunday without a fishing licence.
