Family Fun Day, February 11, 2010
Families from across London celebrated the Family Day weekend with food and Olympic themed activities at the Ontario Early Years Centre London West & Jean Vanier Children's Centre.

School Age Program Olympics
The children in our School Age Program at Lord Roberts Public School celebrated the Olympics with a torch relay, various activities and medal presentations. A huge banner was created to support our local Olympic speed skater Christine Nesbitt. The banner was sent to Vancouver and the children were thrilled to see their banner on TV as Christine competed and won her Gold medal!
