Expectant parents, new parents, grandparents and families are invited to attend the inaugural South Delta Baby Fair next month.
There will be an array of interactive displays, demonstrations and the latest in baby products from many South Delta community services and businesses.
The free event is set for Saturday, Oct. 1 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Ladner Community Centre, 4734-51st St.
The fair is a great opportunity for expectant and new parents and other caregivers to find out about community programs, services and resources.
In one place, parents will get information on safety and first aid, ages and stages of child development, breastfeeding, correct installation of car seats, baby massage and signing instruction, parent/tot programs, introducing literacy and much more.
Community businesses will have novel, fun and useful products for babies and parents.
There will be a number of prize draws. A breastfeeding area and baby changing area will be available.
The Delta Early Childhood Development Committee and the Delta Community Literacy Committee are co-sponsoring the event to raise awareness about the importance of early childhood development and how parents can foster fun, play, learning and literacy as they raise their children.
