September/October Newsletter

Greetings!

We hope you have had an enjoyable summer. It's been an exciting summer in Canada as we hosted the Toronto 2015 Pan-Am/Parapan Am Games. Canada welcomed the nations of the Americas to the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games at the Opening Ceremony in July and then in August for the Parapan Am Games.

The Pan Am Games may have come and gone, but Wee Watch children continue to learn through playing and exploring a vartiety of Pan Am sporting events in our year long "Together Wee Can Celebrates Pan-Amania" program.

Wee Watch Providers and children have been busy with this year's Together Wee Can program, hosting their very own Torch Relays, exploring the different sporting events that took place during the games, tracking the winners and medals that were distributed for each sport and working on their own "Together Wee Can Celebrates Pan-Amania" memory books.

Providers and children in their care will soon be wrapping up the year long celebration with their own "Closing Ceremony".

September has arrived, which means the lazy days of summer will soon be behind us and brisk, foggy fall mornings will be rolling in. Fall is a great time to get outside and enjoy the fresh, crisp autumn air! There is so much to do in the fall; sneak in one last camping trip, go apple picking, visit a fall fair, go to a pumpkin patch, pick and carve pumpkins, visit a farm, go on a hayride and of course play in the colourful leaves.

Let's not forget the best part, Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to remember all the things you have to be thankful for. Thanksgiving is also a time to give back, you can donate food to food drives, volunteer your time sorting and packing food donations or even serving food at a local shelter.

Sincerely,

Leslie Wilson
