June Round-Up:

• South Shore Kids Club’s Blooming Bunnies met at the library on June 2. Delving into the delightful world of 'Toes, Ears, and Nose' - a captivating lift-the-flap book by Marion Dane Bauer that sparks curiosity and smiles! After our usually fun reading activity, our Blooming Bunnies got to explore some new toys that were introduced to them and learned a bit about body parts. The children loved sharing some snacks, doing their crafts, and showing their talents with the kinetic sand that was introduced to them. It’s always such a joy to see the kids and their parents.

• On June 3, 2023, SSEN partnered up with St. Vincent School at their Farewell picnic which was a great success. Parents and children had a wonderful time spent together, meeting friends, visiting the school, and cherishing the wonderful memories that they had for SVS.

• Starting on June 5, we offered families a chance to stop by the office to grab some Father’s Day crafts to do at home for dads. We’d like to thank everyone who came and participated.

• SSEN Hoops & Dreams for Teens had another wonderfully successful basketball event on June 7, 2023. As an organization, we care a lot about our teens, their well being and their mental health. It was great to see them learn some new tricks while having fun. We cannot wait to see them again once the SSEN H&D for Teens come back!

• Our community consultation on employability by PERT was unfortunately postponned to a prior date (to be determined) due to a lack of participants.

• Our Blooming Bunnies Park Splash was canceled due to the weather forcast.

• On June 27, 2023, SSEN participated in Table RAPEL where we had the chance to meet members of other community organizations and the DPJ and discussed some changes in the law for children ages 0-5, school transitions and some other upcoming projects.

• SSEN participated at a SHARP session on June 21, 2023 that spoke about Taking the Fear Out of Prostate Screening and Follow Up. This session was given by Jennifer Hobbs.

• The SSEN Book Club members met on June 27, 2023 and had a great time together. They cannot wait to meet next time. It's nice to see the book club expande which allows to meet new faces.

Happy Canada Day, everyone!
