Free Outdoor Family Movie on July 18: The Lego Movie!
Families are invited to a summer family adventure with a free outdoor movie night on Friday, July 18, at the SERC Centre, Stratford (at Matilda and Oakdale Avenues). Games and activities, such as button making and a photo booth, will start at 7:30 pm. The movie, The Lego Movie, will start at dusk (about 8:45 pm). Free popcorn will be handed out while supplies last.
The outdoor movie night event is taking place to educate parents about the health risks smoking in movies can have on children and teens. “Research shows the more that children and teens see smoking in movies, the more likely they are to start smoking,” says Sarah Ahrens, Public Health Promoter. “As well, seeing smoking in movies makes it seem that smoking is more common place and socially acceptable than it actually is.”
The outdoor movie night is being hosted by the Perth District Health Unit, the THINK team, and the City of Stratford.
The rain date for the event is Saturday, July 19 at SERC Centre. If it is raining on July 19, an indoor location will be used. The indoor location is still to be determined and will be announced closer to the date; visit www.pdhu.on.ca for updated information.
