While the APA normally does not advertise for third party vendors outside of school programs, in light of the unique circumstances for the one day strike this Tuesday December 18th, here is a list of some programs running in the GTA. This is for the convenience of Allenby families, and the APA does not endorse any of the listed vendors. We hope families find this to be a useful resource if you are in a bind for child care or just looking to keep your kids busy.
Please also be aware that the scheduled December APA meeting for Tuesday from 7-9pm is happening and child care will be provided. See this weeks Allenby newsletter for details on agenda items.
