Winterfest programs pivot to “at home” as rising cases lead to in-person cancellation

By Rob Paul

With the COVID-19 pandemic slowing winter activities for children over the holiday break, the Town of Caledon will provide fun take-home activities and treats for children to enjoy in their own homes.

All in-person activities for Winterfest have been cancelled due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The “Winterfest@home kits” will be packed into a reusable package and will include crafts, activities, treats, and more. When you reserve to pick up your kit, you will also receive a free one-time entry to one of the recreation drop-in activities—this will be added to your recreation account.

Winterfest@home kits are free to Caledon residents; however due to limited quantities online pre-registration is required (one kit per child).

Kits can be picked up Sunday, January 2, between 1 to 4 p.m. at the Caledon Centre for Recreation and Wellness and Mayfield Recreation Complex. 

To reserve a Winterfest@home kit, visit www.caledon.ca/en/living-here/winterfest.aspx.

On top of the Winterfest@home kits, Caledon will running a variety of public skates and swims across the Town over the holidays. Additionally, registration is now open for the Town's January programming
