September to October: Circle of Rhythm

The Circle of Rythmn is a four series of face to face mini workshops for families with 

children aged 5 to 8 and Youth aged 9-16.  All activities in this four session circle are free. We did our first two circles of rythmn on Sept. 26 and 27th in Ottawa and have plans to do two more in the spring of 2021. Watch for details here!

Where: On each date, a parent accompanies children under 12 to the picnic table in the courtyard at Beaver Barracks and signs their child in. Youth also sign in.  Please dress for the weather and wear a mask. Some activities such as singing will invole mask removal once participants are set up 2 metres from each other. Some activities will require masks.  Please pre-assess for covid -19 symptoms prior to attending on each date. Also consider the need for sunscreen, a hat and your own bottle of water. Note that there is not washroom access during the two hour sessions.  All art materials and percussion instruments are provided free as are snacks.
