Weekly gathering and playgroup for expectant parents and any new parents and their children (0-2 years old).
The Edmonton Twin and Triplet Club offers a weekly playgroup to both our members and our community. This playgroup offers families the opportunity to get together with other multiples families in their area. It provides a welcoming atmosphere and an outlet for parents and children to get out of the house. It gives everyone a safe, supportive space to ask questions and express parenting concerns or frustrations while building friendships that can last a lifetime.
