The County of Grande Prairie will be offering programing in libraries across the county to help out with families during the teacher strike.
The County’s Family and Community Support Services are offering both half-day and full-day programs. The programs are designed to keep the youth busy and to stay engaged, creative, and connected during the strike, and will be led by community school liaison counselors.
The half-day programs will be completely free, depending on where you plan to have your kids attend, there are dates and times optional between Wednesday, October 22nd until Thursday, October 30th. The locations for programming will be the LaGlace Library, the Hythe FCSS-Library, and the Clairmont Wellington Resource Center. To register for the half-day program you can head to the registration website.
If the half-day program is not long enough for your liking, there will be full-day programming at the Elmworth Library and the Valhalla Library.
As of right now the program only has one date left at each location, the 28th in Elmworth, and the 29th in Valhalla. However, the full-day program is not free, and will set you back $10 per child. The county is reminding parents that if you do plan on registering the kid for the full-day, to make sure that they bring lunch and snacks, indoor shoes, water Bottle, and weather appropriate clothing. Registration is also on their registration website.
