Mother's Day is a holiday honouring mothers, celebrated in many places around the world. Mothers often receive gifts on this day. International Mother's Day is always celebrated on May 11, but in Canada and the United States we pay tribute to our mothers on the second Sunday in May.

We usually have some games. Prizes and gifts will be drawn for all attendees.
