Port Alberni’s Family Literacy Day, held Saturday, Feb. 4 at Echo Centre, was a success. Numerous residents treated their children to a multitude of fun activities centred around literacy of all sorts.
Kids could pick up a recipe and fill a bag with the fresh ingredients to make the food item at home later; listen to a story about cats; build things with bricks (and knock them down again); practice yoga, hula hoops and other physical activities; make crafts and more. There were also free books for children to take home.
