Families were encouraged during the month of February to spend quality time together in a program sponsored by the Family Resource Centre as a fun way for families to participate in an activity challenge contest.
The contest ran from February 17 to February 26.
"This was a simple way to encourage families to spend some time together," said Karolyn Kosheluk, Family Resource Centre co-ordinator. "Our definition of the word family is a broad definition. It is whomever you spend time with.”
Families just need to complete one of the eligible activities and enter their names to win a prize, she said.
Some of the activities were literacy-based that featured a family game night or the writing of letters. Other activities were more physically based that featured skating or sliding.
"During the Family Day holiday and the school break many families took advantage to spend time together," said Kosheluk.
Families entered in the contest were eligible to win one of four prizes that were donated by Gateway Co-op and Preeceville Shop Easy.
The Family Resource Centre appreciates these local businesses for their generous donations in support of families in our area, she said.
Draws were scheduled to be made this week with winners to be announced on the Centre’s Facebook page entitled SPE Family Resource Centre.
