A new program for kids at Irving House draws inspiration from Anne of Green Gables.

“Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it ... Yet.” 

If you recognize that quote – or your child does – then you’ll want to be signing up for an upcoming program at Irving House.

The quote, of course, is from L.M. Montgomery’s classic Canadian children’s novel Anne of Green Gables – and everyone’s favourite red-haired heroine is the inspiration for a heritage program coming up June 23.

Eight- to 12-year-old participants are invited to an Anne of Green Gables session from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Irving House, 302 Royal Ave. The session will explore Anne and what she had in common with the children of Irving House. Young participants will be able to try some child-friendly raspberry cordial, enjoy an Edwardian tea (including sandwiches), then make a scrapbook, a rag rug and more to take home.

The workshop costs $20. To register, call 604-527-4640 or see www.newwestcity.ca/services/arts-and-heritage/programs for all the details.
