August is Child Develop month and all DHSD activities are virtual online activities.
Kim Andersen is the Team Leader for the DHSD in Makkovik.
She says each week they’re targeting different age groups of children.
Any children age 12 and under who would like to put their name in for the bag, are asked to call in by Thursday, August 13th, and bags will be available for pick up on Monday, the 17th.
On Friday, August 14th, ages 12 and under can drop by the DHSD office for a cold treat like popsicles or a freezie from 1-4pm.
On the week of 17-21, they are planning to have a Teddy Bear picnic with a choice to have it inside or outside and another activity called Parents and Tots for ages two and under.
They will also be planning to have a bike rodeo by the DHSD and RCMP.
On the last week of 24-28, they will be having back to school activities each day for school aged children.
