This exciting FREE family event, sponsored by Interior Savings, is set to take place inside and outside Kelowna Family YMCA from 12-4pm, Sunday, June 1st. Kids and their parents are encouraged to come participate in 40 heart pumping activity stations including sports challenges, dance and fitness frenzies, aquatics races, arts, crafts and so much more! With a free healthy BBQ, and an entertainment stage with Emcee, Ian Mackinnon from SunFM to help get the audience moving, this all-ages event is the perfect fit for your weekend ‘family time’.

YMCA Healthy Kids Day is an annual event where 1,000 YMCA’s across Canada come together to celebrate and promote families being more active together. It’s a seriously fun event with a serious message.
“Last year, Healthy Kids Day was so much fun,” says Geoff Gowe, Program Manager at Kelowna Family YMCA. “We can’t wait to see our community come together again in support of family health—getting kids running around outside and adding some more play into their day.”
YMCA of Okanagan offers proven programs and services which are convenient and can help families live healthy beyond the walls of the Y. Being healthy can be fun and the YMCA is here to help! Financial support is available to ensure everyone can participate.
