About Investing in Children’s Kids 1st Day

Kids 1st Day, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Forest City-London, is a celebration of all the wonderful opportunities available to London families. It also showcases the committed people, businesses and organizations that make this city great.

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!

Thank you to our sponsor, the Kiwanis Club of Forest City-London for making this wonderful event possible!
