Discover the Night Sky
Experience the Leighton Art Centre like never before - while gazing up into the beautiful night sky! Start your night sky journey by building your own Star Map and Star Map Finder (Planisphere). Then head into the night, guided by your flashlights and by our resident biologist and naturalist Jim Critchley, to the Echo Hill lookout point on the Leighton Centre property. Use your newly made Star Map to recognize and identify the stars, constellations and zodiac signs that light up the foothills at night.

Mobile Pop-up Playground
This fun experience features a self-directed, drop-in program that use loose parts and natural materials to inspire active and creative outdoor play, and connect people, young and old, to nature. Onsite play ambassadors will be on site to inspire play. Parents are encouraged to stay and watch their children's imaginations soar in this new adventure space.

Michaels Sunday FREE Makebreak Crafts
Every Sunday, visit your local Michaels store for a free craft session! Craft sessions are quick to complete, and usually simple enough for preschoolers to complete on their own. This week, kids can make a ‘SHEroes banner’ where they can celebrate their woman heroes!
