Take Me Outside Day

Over a year ago, long time employee Colin Harris left Wanakita to pursue an amazing vision.  Colin, who founded the non-profit organization Take Me Outside, began running across Canada in January to promote the importance of spending time outside.  Please take the time to look at his website, where he has been documenting his exciting and challenging journey.

After months of running a marathon a day, Colin will be completing his journey across Canada in Vancouver on October 25th.  In recognition of this, people across the country will be celebrating October 25th as Take Me Outside Day. 

Won't you consider joining us, as we celebrate what Colin has done, and the important message that he has carried across our enormous country?

As further motivation, take a look at the link below for an interesting article on the importance of play in our children.
