For the past few years, I have been taking my children to KIDS’ CBC DAYS in July each summer. Both the children and I have had a blast at this well organized event! This event draws a large crowd, so remember to take extra precautions to keep your children safe (I always like to give my children a safety wrist band to wear with their name, phone number etc. on it just in case we get separated.
Here is some more information for you…
On July 18 and 19, KIDS’ CBC DAYS invites parents and young children to experience two special days at the CBC Broadcasting Centre in Toronto.
