Apr 16-22 (Peel)

Good morning, Peel! I felt a weight lift off me this week. That first real week of spring where leaving the house doesn't feel like a military operation. No more snowsuits, no more negotiating with a toddler about mittens. Just grab a jacket and go. If you have young kids, you know this feeling — and it is everything.

This week is Earth Week, and Peel has a beautiful lineup of ways to celebrate with your family — cleanups, markets, stroller walks and more. Let's get outside!

What Peel is Talking About

Did You Know? Rent Video Games from Brampton Library 
Yes, really — Brampton Library lets you borrow video games just like books. Worth checking out if you have a gamer at home!

Free Tree Giveaway in Mississauga 
Mississauga is giving away free residential trees — register now before spots fill up. A great way to green up your yard this spring.

Free Workshops for New Parents — Starting April 
Peel Region and Brampton Public Library have partnered to offer free workshops for new parents starting in April. Topics cover a range of early parenting supports — worth bookmarking.
