Council Mayor, Cr Kim O’Keeffe, said the holiday program offers a wide range of experiences that can help parents encourage their children to be active.

“These activities all provide a safe and inclusive environment for any family that wants to be involved,” she said.

“Our facilitators will be making their way around the district and hope to see as many children there as possible.

“The activities are affordable and in most cases free so we encourage everyone to get together with family and friends and get along to as many of the activities as they can.”
