All About "All 4 Toddlers" This program was designed in the absence of ALAC's regular Active Kids programs. The City's initial thoughts were to amplify the return of regular programs by working with other Community Groups, Organisations, and Businesses to help promote and consolidate all information regarding all things toddler-related into one central working promotion. What better month to promote than May? With school resuming and National Families Week 2021 kicking off there is no better time. The City hopes you enjoy as many programs as you can through the month of May!
