Do I need to be registered with a local service?

Not necessarily! If you and your family live in the area and are interested in learning more about local family supports, come on by!

Do you need to come with your family?

We understand that sometimes the logistics of getting everyone together in one place can be difficult. But please keep in mind that this is a family and child friendly event. Inappropriate behaviour will not be tolerated.

Can I just show up? Do I have to register?

We very much appreciate RSVPs so that we can plan accordingly. But if you're not sure you can make it until the day arrives, please come anyway! We might ask for some information for our records.
