Good to know

By the numbers for this age in Fort McMurray: 29 dated listings in the next 60 days; 10 run after school on a weekday and 12 land on a weekend; the busiest single venue is Wood Buffalo Regional Library with 26 of them.

Why this looks familiar: most of these programs — storytime is the big one — span ages 3–5 to 5–12, so the same sessions appear on the preschool page too. That's the library's age range, not a mix-up; where a program is only for this age, it shows only here.

Free, as marked in the feed: LEGO® Build It. Blast It. Save the Day! at Staples Store 145, LEGO® | Disney Stitch. Those listings carry a free tag in Fort McMurray's own event data — everything else here, check the listing link for the price before you promise anyone.
