As our final Summer Pop-Up Event comes to a close at Scout Island, the Cariboo Chilcotin Child Development Centre and Foundry Cariboo Chilcotin want to send a HUGE thank you to everyone who joined us throughout the summer! 🌈

We loved seeing so many children, youth, families and community members come out to play, create, cool off, connect and have some fun with us. From face painting and button making to games, water play and lots of smiles — you made these events so much fun!

🍦🥤 A very special thank you to The Neighbourhood Ice Cream Shoppe for helping make our pop-ups extra sweet with some delicious treats. We truly appreciate your support!

And, of course, a big thank you to everyone behind the scenes who helped make each event happen. 💕

Our Summer Pop-Ups may be finished for the year, but we’re so grateful for the memories, laughs and connections we made along the way.

Thank you, for spending part of your summer with us! Keep an eye on our website for what we have coming up next☀️💦🌈

The CDC signed on to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library in 2024 to give our children the best start in life. Inspired by Dolly Parton’s own dad, who couldn’t read or write, the Library gives children access to age appropriate books with monthly mail outs to their homes.

While our hearts are incredibly sad today, we’re more inspired than ever to continue this important mission. Together, we are building a brighter future for our children.

Thank you for supporting our work and Dolly’s legacy.
