This week OSC was jam-packed with many fun activities like group knitting and a 'Big Two' card tournament. The week culminated on Friday in a Pro-D Day out-trip to the Richmond Olympic Oval for Jumpstart, an initiative hosted by Canadian Tire and its affiliates. 

Many out-of-school-care programs participated in the event, and it was awesome to see everyone taking part in such a fun and active community event. Groups rotated through various activities such as basketball, table tennis, relay races, and a fantastic obstacle course. Each rotation provided the group with new challenges, and each child had to opportunity to participate in every event. 

By far the favourite activity of the day was wheelchair rugby, which was taught by a Paralympic athlete. The kids had the opportunity to practice moving around in the wheelchairs while catching and throwing a ball to each other, and they even played a rugby match with the professional athletes. It was great to see everyone interacting together in a fun and engaging environment with many varieties of activities!

Until next time
