As winter seems to stretch on across Ontario, it\u2019s easy to want to hunker down and wait for warmer days. But winter also offers important opportunities for children of all ages to stay active, curious, and connected to the world around them.<\/p>\n

At Family Day, we have long believed in the power of active outdoor play, and the growing body of research continues to reinforce what we\u2019ve seen firsthand: outdoor play supports children\u2019s physical health, mental well-being, and overall development\u2014no matter the season.<\/p>\n

In our latest edition of Family Day FOCUS, I invite you to explore why outdoor play matters year-round and how we can work together to reduce the barriers that make access challenging for some families. You\u2019ll find practical, no-cost or budget-friendly ideas for enjoying winter, along with important safety tips to help children play confidently outdoors.\u00a0 You can view and download our Winter 2026 Edition of\u00a0 Family Day FOCUS HERE<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winter can be a season of discovery, resilience, and connection\u2014let\u2019s make the most of it!<\/p>\n
