What's Happening
The week kicks off Monday with a job fair at PMFRC Children's Services if you're looking for work, plus the usual resume help drop-in at the Employment Service on Petawawa Blvd. Parents with young kids have plenty of Play Troop drop-ins happening throughout the week at both the South Side Community Centre and RecPlex. Tuesday brings a "Daddy & Me Pizza Party" at 4:30 PM, and the week wraps up with a Super Dad Celebration at Black Bear Beach on Saturday afternoon. Most of the action seems centered around the South Side Community Centre, with regular youth programs and extended support hours also available.
