Lots of Family Day activities happening in Regina

There are several fun Family Day activities happening in Regina on Monday for those looking to spend some quality time with their loved ones.

The RCMP Heritage Centre is hosting its Arctic Adventures Family Day event celebrating life, leisure and policing in northern communities.

Activities include mock ice fishing, a snow shoe course, dog sled demonstration, scavenger hunt, face painting, crafts and a special viewing of the SCN series “Courage in Red” on policing in remote areas.

The event will be held from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Heritage Centre, and regular admission applies.

Monday is Family Fun Day at the Royal Saskatchewan Museum from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. The free event features Aboriginal storytelling, crafts and activities for the whole family.

If butterflies pique your family's interest, you should flutter over to the Saskatchewan Science Centre’s Wacky Wonderful Wings event, which starts at 2 p.m.

Participants can check out real butterfly wings under a microscope and create their own butterfly to take home.

Those looking to lace up their skates should head to Doug Wickenheiser Arena for the free Family Day Skate from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.

The Co-operators Centre is also offering free public skating on Family Day. For times, visit www.cooperatorscentre.com.

If swimming is more your thing, you can take the plunge at the North West and Sandra Schmirler leisure centres from noon to 6 p.m. The Lawson Aquatic Centre will also be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
