How about adding Exploration Place, Central BC Railway and Forestry Museum, enrolling young children in skating lessons and walking the track at the UNBC Sport Center with a child in a stroller or by your side for all children under the age of 12. This is free except parents have to pay for parking at UNBC.
We are in dance with our 16 month old through Judy Russell’s and she loves going! Definitely would recommend
