Celebrating our Child Care Community: Annual Gala Dinner
 

"Food! Fun! Costumes! Games!" 

These are words one normally finds when describing a carnival or children's birthday party, but in the case of the Annual Gala Dinner celebrating Richmond's Child Care Providers, they could not be more accurate. May has always been a favourite month for Child Care Resource and Referral Centres, and with the onset of spring we like to reconnect with our members and take time to celebrate their achievements...

Cooking Corner with Ofra Sixto:
Simple, Delicious Cheesecake

 

There's almost nothing that tastes better after a hot summer day than a glass of iced tea and a slice of cheesecake. But good cheesecake can be hard to come by and the people who make them seem to possess magical abilities. Let Ofra remove some of that mystery and show you just how easy it can be to make a cheesecake that tastes just as good as a pro's and still lets you catch up on The Wiggles with your kids.
