Earl Grey Community Centre has the best Ride & Play drop in. The reason it is so good is due to organizer Alison McLean, her helpers, and the community who loves it. Fundraisers are semi-annual for new toys. They also have family fun nights once a month including most big holidays. I would suggest if you have small children to have a look at their website and pop in and also come help support the playgroup at this fundraisers and shop some local goodies too. Here are the details!!:
