Parents are invited to visit the City’s Parks displays, take part in gardening and lawn care demonstrations, learn how to be Power Smart with tips on energy conservation and also learn how to conserve water.
The whole family will enjoy demonstrations by Richmond Fire-Rescue, showing the tools and techniques they use to keep the community safe.
