Solange Massicotte, the education and public programs coordinator at the WDM Yorkton, said they are trying something different from what they usually offer this year.

鈥淲e normally do camp, but we decided it would be neat to do something like workshops and spread them out throughout the months so that different families and kids can come and enjoy these different themes.鈥�
She said that due to COVID-19, they decided to switch the workshops from the normal camp they hold.

鈥淲e figured it would be easier for us to do shorter programs in the afternoon and spread them out throughout the summer because it鈥檚 safer, and we can have smaller groups come in,鈥� she said. 鈥淲e can get more people coming to these workshops in a safe manner.鈥�

Massicotte added that she is looking forward to trying out these workshops and depending on the interest from the community, it could be something that they continue in future.
