Ontario Kids Family Events North of Toronto for December 21-23

Between teachers in Ontario striking and Christmas holidays, December has been a scrambling time for parents looking for last minute child care options, day camps and activities for their kids. The good news is 411ontariokids.com is here to connect parents with options so the kids can have fun and parents can relax.

Head for the Hills!

Hats Off to many of Ontario Ski Resorts! It might seem like Spring temps in some areas but many hills are open for the season. Kids and families can spend time downhill skiing or snowboarding. Check with the following ski operators for hours of operation, ski conditions, ski schools and ski day camps.

Blue Mountain | Hardwood Ski and Bike | Horseshoe Resort | Sir Sam's Ski and Bike

Other attractions and businesses are offering neat events and activities for kids. See here for more Christmas Break Happenings North of Toronto.

It's also not too late to get away from home for Christmas. Why not, this Christmas seems extra busy and with the tragic events in the US, all parents have had a very heavy reminder of what to be grateful for this year. We can give our kids an extra special Christmas this year by giving them what they really want, our time. If you're looking for an affordable extra special (and magical!) Christmas or New Year's family getaway - you can find them here -
