Critical Hours Task Force
Skip to top of page
Research shows that kids spend only 25 per cent of their waking time in school.
What kids do when they are out of school has a critical impact on their development.
We’re working to ensure that Calgary's kids have opportunities to be involved in activities during out-of-school hours.
Our focus is on increasing the availability of accessible and affordable activities for kids by:
Reducing the rental rates of schools during critical hours
Working with Faith communities to offer programming in their facilities
Supporting the City of Calgary’s AfterSchool initiative
This database gathers research, statistics and best practices on child and youth development
- Calgary AfterSchool project launched on September 10. Parents can find recreational programming for their kids between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. by calling 211 or 311 or by visiting calgary.ca/afterschool
- In September, TeenZone begins the third year of afterschool programming for kids aged 11-16 in the communities of Saddle Ridge, Martindale, Taradale, Coral Springs, Castleridge and Falconridge. For more information on what is being offered and the locations go to www.calgaryteenzone.com
