It's March break and time to chill with the kids. If you're looking for some extra-fun ways to enjoy the week with them, here are a few suggestions, from special activities to tried and true favourites.
There's lots to choose from daily at Heritage Place Shopping Centre, the Owen Sound Library, Grey Roots Museum, the Tom Thomson Art Gallery, and the YMCA. You can also head to The Bowling Alley or check out the spring melt at Inglis Falls or Jones Falls.
