Families in Cold Lake and the surrounding area are invited to celebrate Family Day with an afternoon of winter activities at Frost & Float Family Fun Day on Monday, February 16, at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Cold Lake, which will be the featured Family Day event this year.

Hosted by the 4 Wing Personnel Support Programs (PSP) Community Recreation team, the free community event will run from 1:00 to 5:30 p.m. and feature a mix of outdoor play, skating, and complimentary public swimming. The event is weather-dependent, and no registration is required.

From 1:00 to 3:00 p.m., families can take part in an Outdoor Family Fun event just outside the Colonel J.J. Parr Sports Centre near the outdoor skating rink.

“We have a full lineup of activities for families to enjoy,” said Morgan Thorne, 4 Wing PSP Community Recreation Coordinator. “Families can take part in snow painting, build snow forts, and enjoy a variety of snow toys. Outdoor skating will also be available, and inside the facility, we’ll have a hot chocolate station to help everyone warm up between activities.”

In addition to outdoor fun, participants will have the opportunity to enjoy free public swimming during two time blocks: 1:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

“Whether families want to play in the snow, lace up their skates, or head indoors for a swim, there’s something for everyone throughout the afternoon,” Thorne said.

Frost & Float Family Fun Day is open to all members of the community.

Residents are encouraged to dress for the weather and come prepared to enjoy an afternoon of winter-themed family fun.
