This much snow does not have to mean long days stuck in the house with nothing to do. There are TONS of snowy, winter activities in and around London. Why not make it a goal, as a match, to try out each of these activities:

Skating - free skating is available at the Covent Garden Market & Victoria Park

Tobogganing - Basil Grover Park (Wharncliffe Rd. & Commissioners Rd.), Grosvenor St. (near St. Joe's)

Sleigh Rides - Circle R Ranch

Cross Country Skiing - Kilally Meadows, Parkhill Conservation Area

Snowshoeing  - Kilally Meadows, Parkhill Conservation Area, Westminster Ponds Trails

Tomorrow marks the first day of December, which means that Christmas is less than 1 month away and which also means that BBBSOLA Holiday Wrapping begins again at Masonville Mall.

From Wednesday, December 1st through Friday, December 24th BBBSOLA volunteers will be running a Holiday Gift Wrapping booth in Masonville Mall. The booth will be located on the 2nd level of the mall, just outside of Sunrise Records.

Funds raised from the Holiday Wrapping will go directly into the programs and services offered by BBBSOLA.

Why not let someone else do the wrapping for you? One less thing on your list and one more thing on ours, helping us to create change for the children and youth in our community.
