Welcome Spring!

Hi readers,

Tomorrow is the first day of spring! Spring is my favourite time of the year. I love watching the cherry blossom trees bloom in the park, wearing a light jacket instead of a big parka, smelling the fresh air and so much more!

Here are some spring-inspired activities to celebrate the season!

• Take a tour of your town. After being stuck inside all winter long, you may have forgotten that there’s fun to be had in your own town or city! Grab some family members, a map and a camera and get touring!
• Check out your local farmer’s market! See what’s in season right now at your farmer’s market, then help your family prepare a feast using the fresh produce.
• Welcome back your feathered friends. Many birds are coming back from their warm rest in the south. Invite them to your own backyard by hanging a bird feeder.
• Get peddling. It’s time to take those bikes out of storage! Hop on and go for a family bike ride.
