May 30 to June 5 – 2016 is the 20th Anniversary for Parachute’s Safe Kids Week.

Many Canadians are surprised to learn that preventable injuries kill more children every year than any other disease.

The good news is that prevention efforts are working – since 1996, Canada has enjoyed a decreasing trend in death and hospitalizations from preventable injuries overall.

But there is a still lot of work to do to keep children, and ourselves safe. Plan to take part in Parachute’s Safe Kids Week, happening May 30 – June 5, 2016 with a focus on the top injury issues that affect children on the road, at home and at play.

Check out the Parachute Safe Kids Week 2016 Resources and order your Community Toolkit today.

Safe Kids Week was originally a program of Parachute’s legacy organization Safe Kids Canada. The first annual Safe Kids Week took place in 1996.

Date :
May 30 to June 5

Location event:
Westport, ON

National Youth Week is dedicated to the celebration of youth and their active participation in their community. Whether it is recreation, drama, sport, dance, civic engagement, art, volunteerism or leadership, every day young people are involved in meaningful activities during their discretionary time. National Youth Week is a time to honour their involvement! Anything you do, or that you know of happening in your community during the week of May 1 through to the 7th and that celebrates, encourages, or showcases the involvement of youth in play in your community, can be part of National Youth Week.

Through activities, such as recreation and art, youth learn five basic life skills, which include social, moral, ethical, physical and cognition competence. Additionally, through their involvement, young people are meeting the seven developmental needs which they need in order to feel fully engaged in the world around them. These needs are: self-definition, physical activity, meaningful participation, mastery and achievement, positive interaction with adults and peers, structure and clear limits, and creative expression. Programs and services that are designed to meet meets the needs of youth and help them develop their basic skills are called Intentional Youth Development programs.

WHAT’S PLANNED FOR NATIONAL YOUTH WEEK?

National Youth Week will be driven by what happens in local communities across Canada. Anything you do or that you know of, happening in your community during the week of May 1 through to the 7th and that celebrates, encourages, or showcases the involvement of youth in play in your community, can be part of National Youth Week.

Two plays in repertory, alternating daily – Art on even-numbered days; Red on odd-numbered days. Start times vary;

Westport Country Playhouse will open its 2016 Season with two Tony Award-winning plays staged in repertory, “Art” and “Red,” with each play alternating daily, from May 3 through May 29.

Mark Lamos directs two Tony Award-winning plays in conversation about art: making it, owning it, the anguish of creating it, and the ache of believing in it.

“Art” by Yasmina Reza, translated by Christopher Hampton, and “Red” by John Logan, will be directed by Mark Lamos, Playhouse artistic director.

ART

“A nonstop cross-fire of crackling language.”
– Newsweek –

What does your taste reveal about you? When Serge, a novice art collector proudly shows off a newly acquired painting, he imagines his friends will stand in awe. He thinks it “priceless.” They have a slightly different point of view. Blistering honesty extracts a high price In Yasmina Reza’s intelligent and witty Tony Award-winning comedy.

“Art” will be performed on the even-numbered days of May; “Red” on the odd-numbered days. Performance schedule is Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wednesday at 2 and 8 p.m., Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 3 and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 3 p.m. Special series feature Taste of Tuesday, LGBT Night OUT, Opening Night, Sunday Symposium, Open Captions, Thursday TalkBack, Together at the Table Family Dinner, Playhouse Happy Hour, and Backstage Pass.

RED

“Intense and exciting!”
– The New York Times –

“What do you see?” Mark Rothko paints. His assistant runs the errands. Each knows their place in the world. But when the famous abstract expressionist asks his young protégée a loaded question, it rearranges everything. This sizzling and intellectually riveting drama offers a fascinating portrait of the search for visionary truth and the price you pay to be an artist.
