Reading Rainbow Returns to Canada Day!

We are very pleased to announce that the Reading Rainbow game will be returning to Canada Day this year! The Reading Rainbow game was introduced to the event last year and was extremely popular. The game works like a cakewalk, but with books for prizes! The game ties in the Martensville Community Access Centre's focus on lifelong learning and literacy and brings an extra educational element to our fun family-friendly event!

Last year, we were very lucky to have boxes of books donated by Read Saskatoon. This year, we are looking for more donations in order to run the game more often. We are also hoping to add some adult books to the prize table to get the grown-ups involved too! If you have any books you'd like to donate, we would love to hear from you!

Thank you Joanna with the 

City of Martensville Recreation for sharing this challenge.........
