11 October 2015 - by Nicole Meredith
Thanksgiving is all about showing gratitude for the important things you're fortunate enough to have in life - and what could be more important than your family? This year, plan some fun activities with the ones you love. Your local Y is running on a special holiday schedule tomorrow to give you some family-friendly options:
1. Combine fun and fitness at the Markham YMCA's Family Gym & Bouncy Castle. From 10:45 am - 12:30 pm, our staff and volunteers can help you come up with new ways to play together!
2. Looking for a little friendly competition? The Mississauga YMCA is hosting Family Table Tennis from 9:30 am - 3:30 pm.
3. It may be getting chilly outside, but our indoor aquatics centres let you have fun in the water year-round! Splash around at the Oshawa YMCA's Family Swim from 9:30 am - 3:30 pm.
4. Share some laughs and get your bodies moving over a friendly game of badminton! The Central YMCA will be running Family Badminton from 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm.
5. Organize a two-on-two tournament, or just throw a ball around at the Scarborough YMCA's Family Basketball. The court's dedicated to families from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm tomorrow.
Make this Thanksgiving memorable by trying a program you've never experienced before! Your family will grow closer as you learn new things together.
If you're feeling really adventurous, visit a new Y. Your membership gives you access to all of our centres across the GTA: you can swim in Oshawa if you live in Mississauga, or play in Markham's bouncy castle if you usually go to the Central Y.
No matter which centre or program you choose, you're sure to make new memories with your family this Thanksgiving. Share them with the rest of your community by letting us know which family-friendly program you enjoyed the most!
