The challenge? It’s March Break again: the time of year that gets parents wondering “how am I going to keep the kids busy for a whole week?” Finding new March Break activities for the family can be tough, especially for those on a budget (which in today’s economy is just about everyone). More than half of Canadian households have pets, so animal-friendly activities are a must-have for kids and parents alike. The solution? Families looking for free fun that involves the pets, should check out PawsWay Pet Discovery Centre this March Break. Have a dog or cat? Bring them with you. No pets? No worries! Come and meet people with pets!
