🎳Localife Winnipeg: Art in the park
2023-06-24 14:00 - 17:00 (America/Winnipeg)
Localife Winnipeg invites you to our first summer event! We figured with all of the heat, we could all use a relaxing day.

We’ll have some colouring books, for inspiration, but no real art class planned. Don’t worry, if you don’t know what you would like to try, as we’ll have a few extras. Also, we have a surprise planned based on the weather!
Who: Young adults diagnosed with cancer before the age of 40 and currently between 18-39. You are welcome to bring a supporter (partner, friend, sibling, etc.) who is also between 18-39.
When: June 24, 2023 at 2 p.m. CDT
Where: The Pavilion in Assiniboine Park
