Good news, folks! The 5 Blocks Out community website has launched. I’ve talked with many a parent about needing a site like this so we took it upon ourselves to build one. It is now online for you to peruse. H-U-R-R-A-Y!
For those of you who are new to 5 Blocks Out, it’s a website for people who spend time in Toronto and love neighbourhoods, enjoy walking and biking to local stuff, and like supporting green and locally owned businesses.
In particular, the Bird Nest section of the site helps parents help each other. On the Bird Nest we can share information with each other about where to…
- find other parents
- entertain the little ones
- have a lovely afternoon out at kid-friendly places, without being stranded looking for changetables and spaces to breastfeed
- find decent kid-related gear at reasonable prices
You can see tips other parents have left, and, as a member, add tips of your own. You can also subscribe to get updates from other parents in your neighbourhoods. It’s free, sign-up is easy, and your privacy is respected.
