TIMMINS

North Eastern Ontario Family and Children’s Services (NEOFACS) is preparing to celebrate summer, family and friends during the fifth annual NEOFACS Summer Community Picnics.  In 2015, NEOFACS hosted nine celebrations taking place in Timmins, Cochrane, Kapuskasing, New Liskeard, Hearst, Iroquois Falls, Kirkland Lake, Smooth Rock Falls and Englehart.

This year’s events are shaping up to be as dynamic and as unique as each of the communities where they are being hosted. In Timmins, various games and activities have been sponsored or are in partnership with; Fountain Tire and Kidd Operations.

Join us for FREE family fun!  The community picnic features inflatable rides, face-painting, “Monster Mural” sponsored by Kidd Operations, Ontario Early Years Activity Stations for babies/toddlers/children, complimentary hot dog BBQ sponsored by Fountain Tire, cool treats and so much more!
