The City of Richmond is offering a number of activities for young children to attend on Tuesday when a looming rotating teachers’ strike is expected to hit Richmond schools.
Day camps for six to 12 year old students will be available at various community centres such as Cambie, Hamilton, South Arm, Steveston, Thompson and West Richmond. Kids are asked to bring a lunch and suitable clothing options and costs are about $20-$40.
Drop-in programs are available at other municipal facilities. There will be public swims at Watermania, public skates at the Richmond Ice Centre, and floor hockey at Minoru Arenas.
The Richmond Olympic Oval is offering a skate as well as its GetSkills camps for children five to 12 years old.
The camp runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. and there is some before and after camp supervision available.
Day camp hours vary. Some start as early as 7 a.m. and last until 6 p.m.
