Just because we can’t get together for the usual holiday celebrations, doesn’t mean this festive season is limited to binge-watching television, playing video games or vacuuming the house—again.
Inside or outside, daytime or evening, the City of Richmond and its partners have organized plenty of fun local activities to do during the two-week school break from Dec. 19 to Jan. 3.
Take in the creative festive light displays while wandering throughout Steveston Village, City Hall Plaza, Britannia Heritage Shipyards and other areas of the city. Stay physically distanced, grab a warm beverage and even a selfie or two while keeping healthy and enjoying the winter weather. Or, channel your inner Tessa Virtue or Elias Pettersson by registering for a Winter Wonderland skating session at Minoru Arenas.
Indoors, families can register for a swim session at the Minoru Centre for Active Living. Or, do an online workout at home led by a professionally trained instructor.
Spend time learning about local areas with self-guided historical walking tours at Terra Nova and Brighouse Parks. Experience some of Richmond’s beautiful outdoors and burn a few calories while walking the trails and remembering times past.
All activities are virtual or physically-distanced and meet strict health and safety guidelines as set out by local and provincial health authorities where required.
Winter day camps still have spaces to keep kids active and social during the school break. Find all the details and how to register at www.richmond.ca/winterbreak.
