Kids First Day was a great success this year, with record crowds at many of our partners, including over 500 at the Museum of Ontario Archeology, over 150 at the Covent Garden Market and over 220 at Mad Science.

Thank you to all of the partners who offered wonderful activities, to the many children and families who took part, to the members of the media who helped promote the event, and the Kiwanis Club of Forest City-London for supporting the event.
