Kids 1st Day started after a report was released that focused on London’s problems facing children and families including poverty. The idea was to highlight the many wonderful organizations and unique attractions in London that can help children thrive.

Investing in Children takes the lead in arranging a day where more than 50 businesses and organizations across the city offer free or low-cost activities to children and families. The day is always chosen to be held on an elementary school PA Day shared by the London boards. This event reminds the community of what a great place London is for families and gives children the opportunity to try new things and visit new places!

Stay tuned for programming details, but be sure to save the date in the meantime!
