Advisory — Play Day 2026 at the University of Lethbridge — where the community comes to play
The biggest play event in southern Alberta once again takes place on Family Day, February 16, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., at the University of Lethbridge.
Initiated in 2012, Play Day is rooted in the celebration of family through the joy of simple play. Play Day has become a tradition for many families and with Westco Construction as the presenting sponsor, ULethbridge is able to offer even more to attendees this year.
“Play Day is about more than an afternoon of fun. It is about creating spaces where families connect, kids explore and community comes together,” says Taunya Pickles, Marketing & Communications Manager, Westco Construction.
WHAT: Play Day
WHEN: Monday, Feb. 16, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
WHERE: Co-Op Centre for Sport & Wellness, University of Lethbridge
Media are invited to attend Play Day as families will be treated to multiple activity zones staffed by more than 150 volunteers. Representatives from the University of Lethbridge and Westco Construction will be available from 12 to 1 p.m. for comment. Please connect by phone or text at the event and they will be happy to meet.
