Join TVCC, in partnership with the Children’s Health Foundation, Beck Hearing Aid Centre, and our friends at the StarTech YMCA Community Centre, for a fun and energizing way to shake off the winter blues—the March Break Walk and Roll program!

Bring your family and enjoy access to a beautiful public indoor walking track, along with engaging weekly activities designed to get everyone moving.

Each session offers open track time, opportunities to meet and connect with other TVCC families, and access to knowledgeable staff from TVCC and our partner organizations who will be on hand to answer questions and provide support.

Get active, stay warm, and build community—come walk and roll with us!

Whether you’re into drawing, writing, collage, or all of the above, this is your chance to express yourself, share your ideas, and explore DIY publishing.

We will share simple tips and techniques to personalize a zines well as praticing doodling, colouring and decorating skills. All abilities welcome!
