There are still tickets available for the NHL Alumni Classic on Saturday.
Roger’s Hometown Hockey is hosting several fan events on Saturday at City Square Plaza.
There’s a free Lego Leagues video game event at Cineplex Theatre in Normanview on Saturday afternoon.
The Royal Saskatchewan Museum is showing family-friendly movies for the next two Sundays and will feature a School’s Out lineup of family movies throughout the week of February break. Tickets are $3.
For those looking for fun free activities on Family Day, Waskimo Winter Festival starts at noon Monday on Wascana Lake.
“It’ll be great on the lake, we’re going to have horse-drawn sleigh rides, we’ve got snow cricket, we’ve got fat bike races and the famous winter Hole-lympics,” explained Waskimo President Jim Aho.
Unfortunately, Waskimo had to cancel the sled dog races because there isn’t enough snowpack on the lake for the dogs to run safely. Aho said Waskimo organizers will hopefully be looking to bring back the sled dogs next year.
The pancake breakfast on Saturday was also cancelled.
Waskimo will also feature an indoor kids carnival at Conexus Arts Centre once again, but this year there will be no entrance fee.
For those wishing to park at Conexus Arts Centre to be close to the events, there is a parking fee of $10. People are encouraged to park elsewhere and walk or take a shuttle from the University of Regina residence parking lots.
