Malton Moms and CIBC Run for a Cure

On Sunday September 30th, 2012 Malton Mom's laced up their running shoes and got active for a great cause!

The annual CIBC Run for a Cure fundraising event for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation took place in cities all across Canada. Runners and walkers had the option to run 5k, walk 5k or walk 1k, which turned out to be a fantastically fun, family-friendly event. Some runners came out sporting hot pink wigs, lipstick, leg warmers, bandannas and anything else they could find. Personally, I was not that flashy, but I will make it a point to be pink/blinged out next year!
 

Renee hypes the crowd with Zumba!

I have to admit, I am a runner, but 5k is not my preferred distance. I've only actually done one other 5k race. I need more time to get my breathing, stride and cadence smooth; but this was for fun and fundraising so I wasn't too worried. The course looped around the industrial areas close to the Powerade Centre in Brampton including a spin past a popular all-you-can-eat Chinese food buffet restaurant, I don't know if that was intentional, but it did make me increase my pace a little as I day-dreamed of sweet & sour chicken balls!
 

Other participating Malton Moms opted for the shorter walk and supported the running aficionados with cheers and smiles. The end of the race included a cluster of cheering participants and family members at the finish line along with an amazing youth cover band (with a lead singer who may be the next Adele), free coffee (thank goodness!), and healthy post-run snacks.
 
All in all, it was a lovely way to spend a Sunday morning. Across Canada over $30 million was raised for breast cancer research, education and health promotion activities. A great big thank you to all the Malton Moms who participated and hustled for donations (CJ, I'm looking at you!) I hope next year our team will be even bigger and raise more on Sunday October 6th, 2013.

Malton Moms First Contest!

Pin It We are having our first contest, and we'd like you to participate! 

It's that time of year again. The sun only shines half of the days in one week, and it rains the other half in preparation for that thing we all wish we could put off... snow. 

For anyone who has to travel in the colder months with a baby, what is an essential piece to have in order to keep baby warm? 

Can't guess? A car seat cover! Malton Moms is giving away a Regan Car Seat cover from Carseat Canopy valued at $60.00 CDN.

How do you enter? 
1. Visit Malton Moms Facebook page here. 
2. Join the group (if you're not already a member). 
3. Look out this Friday (November 2nd) for a post. The first person to answer the question correctly, will be the winner! 

It couldn't be any simpler! 
Good luck, and look out for Friday's post!

Malton Community Building Project, Morning Star Middle School, and the Peel Children and Youth Initiative invite you to the first-ever Enrolled by Six – Community Enrollment Event in Malton.

The Enrolled By Six strategy is led by the Peel Children and Youth Initiative to engage all community organizations to enroll every eligible child in Peel for the Canada Learning Bond (CLB)
The CLB is FREE money provided by the Government of Canada to children born after 2004 and living in families earning less than $42,707 net annually. Eligible children will receive up to $2,000 by the age of 15. No parental contribution is required. 

WHEN: Tuesday, October 16, 2012
WHERE: Malton Community Centre
3540 Morning Star Drive, Mississauga, ON L4T 1Y2

EVENT DETAILS:  Begins at 12:00 p.m.

– At 4:00 p.m. Service Canada representatives will be on-site and available to register your child’s SIN number

From 12:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m .
– Bank representatives will be on-site and available to register your child’s  Canada Learning Bond and Registered Education Saving Plan.

Parents must bring the following documentation to complete registration:
1. Two pieces of Government issued photo ID, i.e., passport, citizenship card, driver’s license, Social Insurance Number (SIN)
2. Your child’s birth certificate
3. Your child’s SIN number (if they have one)

Child minding will be available.

Though we know this is not enough to pay for your child's entire education, what we do know is you need to begin somewhere, and you can continue to contribute to this RESP that will be available to your child when they are ready for college/university. And hey, when the government is giving FREE money away, who will say no??? Because when they want it from you, they get it.
