During my last round of updates to the Playtime Calendar at the beginning of April, some of the events (i.e. Fairfield, Oaklands, Mayfair Mall and James Bay Community Project) defaulted to appear daily in the calendar, rather than on the selected dates. I am very sorry for any disappointment or frustration which this may have caused. This general glitch has been fixed and the listings brought up to date.
A great thank you to AJ Aiken, who volunteered to check all 117 listings in the Playtime Calendar for further errors. In the meantime, please be sure to check the details of the calendar listings, which list the correct dates and times for each drop-in. - Melissa
