The Ultimate Block Party

In early June 2012, ETFO’s first Ultimate Block Party brought thousands of parents and children to Fort York National Historic site in downtown Toronto.

The Block Party, the first of its kind in Canada, underscored the importance of play in children’s learning and healthy development.

Community organizations and individual artists partnered with ETFO to set up 25 play centres where children could take part in all kinds of play: music, art, drama, and dance; science experiments, physical play, adventure play, and storytelling.
