First Annual CFK Parenting Conference "Let's Celebrate" - November 2005
“Let’s Celebrate” was a series of workshops for parents, grandparents, caregivers, ECE workers and child care providers held on November 5, 2005 at the Penticton Alliance Church. Each of the 60 participants, the majority being parents, attended their choice of three workshops on the following topics:
- Recreation is M.A.G.I.C.
- Learning Styles
- Nine Ways to Bring Out the Best in You and Your Child
- Food and Behaviour
- Sunrise, Music for Young Children
- Stress Busters
- Opening the Door to Language Learning with Sign Language
- You, Your Child and Books
- Spirit Bundles
Registration cost included attendance to the workshops, breakfast, hot lunch and afternoon coffee. Participants were presented with a folder containing a variety of parenting leaflets, as well as parenting messages on bookmarks, fridge magnets, and key chains.
Local youths provided a lunchtime entertainment program of Punjabi dancers, a juggling act and a singer. Draws for door prizes donated by those providing displays took place throughout the day. Also throughout the day, participants had the opportunity of collecting additional parenting information from 8 display tables.
Completed evaluation forms at the end of the day provided very positive comments.
