Silken's Active Kids Movement Mission Is:
- To get more children playing across the country! And in doing so, helping to make their bodies fit, their minds sharp, their spirits high. In addition to this, play time enables children to become more independent, creative, diplomatic, cooperative, and communicative – a skills set that is essential as they navigate their way through all kinds of life situations more info »
What is a Community Action Network (CAN)?
- A Community Action Network (CAN) is a small group of neighbours that come together to create play opportunities for children.
