Family Board Game Night Rosanne Fortier News Correspondent
Board games involve active participation from the players. Vegreville Centennial Library part-
nered with Mental Health Capacity Building Vegreville (MHCB) to host a Family Board Game Night inside Vegreville Centennial Library’s gymnasium and outside close to Vegreville Lions Playground and Spray Park on August 21. There were regular board games and giant board games, as well as, bowling sets and other games set up. Coordinator for MHCB
Kirstin McSween explained they hold this event because it is the end of summer holidays and is a good family event before the kids go back to school because social connections are really important for their mental health. “They can come out here and spend some time with their family and friends and get away from screen time and just play games and enjoy the outdoors and the indoors inside the library.” The board games were provided by Veg Al-Drug Society and Vegreville Family and Community Support Services.
