THUNDER BAY – Thunder Bay residents were out and about in costume at Prince Arthur’s Landing on Sunday for this week's rendition of Winter FunDays.
This week, the city’s Recreation and Culture Division hosted a costumed DJ skating party with Maverick Entertainment and All the Daze Productions from 2 p.m. until 4 p.m. which had residents out enjoying the crisp winter air as their favourite characters.
“We're thankful the weather warmed up this weekend,” said Jennifer Bulloch, community program director. “So, we definitely see a lot more people coming out and enjoying the fun Sunday at the Marina.”
When things got a little too chilly for residents on the ice, they were able to visit The Baggage Building Arts Centre to warm up with an art activity with the Community Arts & Heritage Education Project.
This week participants sculpted beautiful flowers using colourful foam sheets and various folding and stenciling techniques.
“We love seeing the kids in the community come out and there's nothing better than seeing kids in costume and having fun around with their friends,” said Bulloch. “So, it's great to see people out.”
Winter FunDays run every Sunday until March 19, with a different free winter activity every week.
“Next week the Thunder Bay Indigenous Friendship Center will be here,” said Bulloch. “We'll be making bannock over the fire, and then we'll also have the community arts and Heritage Education project doing outdoor tracking.”
