The first College Park II Heritage Day aimed to teach kids about Saskatchewan’s pioneer past on Friday.
Grade 3 and Grade 4 students from Saint Augustine Community School joined in on the fun at the College Park II retirement home to help celebrate.
However, it is not the first time the retirement has partnered seniors with kids.
The College Park II retirement home and Saint Augustine have a reading buddy program that helps to further connect young people to seniors.
