Hudson’s March Break registration underway

Parents anxious to make sure their kids are happy and occupied during March Break have begun registering this week for Hudson’s host of Spring Break activities.

The Hudson Parks & Recreation Department says its Spring Fever activities will run from March 1 to March 5 at the Stephen F. Shaar Community Centre, the Hudson Youth Centre, école Saint-Thomas and the Hudson Legion.

The week will include an All-Sports Day where participants from 7-14 years old will explore team sports with an emphasis on cooperation and fair play.

Staff from Le Nichoir Bird Rehabilitation Centre will also be on hand to present a seminar on birds indigenous to the area, as well as a birdhouse painting project.

Other highlights will include bingo, soap making classes, a video movie day, a visit by animators for animal based Éducazoo, a Rock Band & Guitar Hero video game tournament for teens, and a curling game “extravaganza” for junior players.

In addition, budding babysitters will be able to sign-up for a St-John’s Ambulance Babysitting Course, taking place on March 5 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Hudson Youth Centre. The course will include a manual and a certificate upon completion. Participants must be 11 years old by the day of the course.

Spring Fever Activities will conclude March 5 with a concert taking place from 7:00 to 10:00 p.m. featuring local teen bands.

Registration, on a first come first served basis, began this week and will run until Feb. 26. To register, or for more information, call the Hudson Parks & Recreation staff at 450 458-6699. Information flyers are also available at the Stephen F. Shaar Community Centre in Hudson.
