If you have a creative kid, or a busy kid, or a kid who asks “what are we doing now?” every 10 minutes, Granville Island is your move. From art classes and workshops to interactive activities and even edible creations, Granville Island is one of the best places in Vancouver for families craving hands-on, creative experiences.
In addition to paddling together, members of the Squamish Ocean Canoe Family are committed to sharing Skwxwú7mesh culture through traditional songs and dances.
If you are a parent or guardian, then you've probably heard about Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs). But what exactly is a RESP—is it worthwhile to open one, and how do you do that?
Granville Island isn’t just home to the festival—it’s also home to the Public Market, which is full of some of the tastiest, most kid-approved treats in the city.
It’s back! Join us for an exciting evening of good times, fun and trivia! Grab a team of 4 together and join us for our Trivia Night Fundraising Event on Saturday, Feb. 7th, to raise funds for our Adopt a Class Program.
Lighten Santa’s load this Holiday Season and opt to give an experience rather than a thing. Holiday memories come from the shared feasting, the family jokes, the carolling, the chaos, the crafting – the shared experience. This year, give the gift of a day at the Vancouver International Children's Festival.
You are cordially invited to attend the Annual General Meeting for the Vancouver International Children’s Festival Society on Tuesday, December 2, 2025 at 6:00 pm.
September 30th is Orange Shirt Day and the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. A day to honour the Residential School survivors, their families and communities and to recognize the many forms of harm the residential school system has inflicted on Indigenous Children and their families.
