While there's still less than two months of winter left, the Town of Okotoks is encouraging residents to think ahead to warmer weather with the Spring Parade of Programs.

The open house at the Okotoks Recreation Centre will showcase different spring sports, arts, educational and health programs.

Janette Messer, manager of community programs, says the Spring Parade of Programs differs from others.

"The Spring Parade of Programs is a lot smaller than our full Parade of Programs, with the transition to online from actual in person registration this is a much smaller event but it still is a needed event in the community."

Messer says the Town wants to make sure everyone has access to active living.

"The Town of Okotoks is really keen on ensuring all residents are aware of the activities that are available to the children and businesses as well," she says. "We are committed to providing opportunities for fitness and sports activities."

The last day to register to set up a table for $25 at the event is Thurs. Jan. 28.

The Spring Parade of Programs takes place Saturday from 9:30- 11:30 a.m.
