'Participants have access to a range of fun games and activities from 08:00 daily until late afternoon. Most of the activities take place indoors, so even with the inclement weather during the winter school holidays, the City’s Halls and Recreation Centres offer a dry, safe and accessible space for youth to enjoy themselves and stay active. We have qualified and vetted staff and volunteers on hand to help make a day of it, but I also encourage parents to pop by and see what is available to their young ones,' said Mayoral Committee Member for Community Services and Health, Councillor Francine Higham.
