The Saint John Y is encouraging a love of outdoor activities in a beautiful spot on the east side.
Healthy Kids Day at the Glenn Carpenter Centre is a free activity on Saturday.
Saint John YMCA President Shilo Boucher says activities include hiking, swimming and canoeing.

Join us for YMCA Healthy Kids Day tomorrow from 1-3 at the Glenn Carpenter Centre! This is FREE day of outdoor fun for…
