How It All Began:

In 1972, the South Leaside Monday Group (SLMG) was founded by a new mother seeking to establish a community group where parents could come together, relax and enjoy much needed 'adult time'. Almost forty years later, SLMG continues to thrive and provide a social outlet for new and seasoned parents.

Our goal is to offer a comfortable, fun environment where parents can chat and enjoy a cup of coffee for an hour or so without having to tend to the needs of the little one(s).

Our Purpose:

In addition to the social aspect of the SLMG, our secondary focus is to provide interesting and educational presentations given by well established professionals. Topics that reflect the group interests are chosen annually by members and guests. They have ranged from Infant SPR to Art Appreciation.

We are not to be confused with a 'Mom's Group' where mothers and babies are together playing. This time is intended for parents. Babies and children have fun in the next room(s) while being cared for by dedicated, seasoned and nurturing care-givers.

Members:

Our membership typically ranges from 50 to 70 members, plus many weekly guests. It is an ever-evolving group as maternity leaves ends and new babies arrive.

We welcome new parents and their infants, not-so-parents and their toddlers, as well as veteran parents whose children are already in school. SLMG is a great place to meet others in the same stage of live.

So please, come and join us...!
