YMCA Healthy Kids Day is a national event so every YMCA across Canada celebrates it, Mikalishen-Deol said. For us Healthy Kids Day is a really big mission piece. We believe in building healthy communities and promoting healthy living to help children and families thrive. Healthy Kids Day is a free event and featured activities like making bracelets, planting a flower to take home to mom, making your own bannock and roasting it over an open flame. There were no less than three bouncy castles, mini golf, a petting farm, and target practice with a modified version of archery that saw children dip the blunt sponge tip of their arrow into paint and then take aim at the targets.
