Metro to host Mini Metro Lunch Clubs for children in Ontario

Who: Metro

What: The grocer will be hosting Mini Metro Lunch Clubs in designated community parks across Ontario for children aged two to eight.

The sessions, taking place in July and August, will have qualified childcare staff on-site and feature a selection of activities tailored to their specific age group.

Once parents arrive at their local Mini Metro Lunch Club session, they will register their children on-site and receive a coupon that can be redeemed at select Metro locations.

“As a community grocer, Metro recognizes alone time is in short supply for parents, especially during the summer months'' said Mathieu Robitaille, head of marketing, Metro Ontario Inc. “For parents, grocery shopping alone can be a treat, but many don't have the opportunity. By hosting these sessions, we aim to take the stress out of shopping and provide some fun for the whole family.''

The Ottawa lunch clubs will be hosted at Kristina Kiss Park on July 19 and Tierney Park on July 20 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Families in Mississauga can participate at Lakeside Park on Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The Burlington lunch club will be held at Millcroft Park on Aug. 30 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

And finally, for families in Hamilton and Stoney Creek, the Mini Metro Lunch Club will be hosted at the Winona Peach Festival Grounds on Aug. 31 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
