Anyone Can Sew

Instructor: Maricarman Armenta Have you ever seen an amazing outfit or had an idea and wanted to make it yourself? Have you ever lost a button, or needed to mend some clothes but didn’t know how? Then this class is for you. No longer will you throw away pants that are too long, or missing a zipper.

Biba playgrounds?

Pendleton, Victor and Lon C Hill are all Biba playgrounds. You can find information at bibavebtures.com

Time to Play Biba!

In our mission to get today’s screen-savvy kids back outdoors and active, we have created a suite of mobile games that are specifically designed to work with the equipment found in your neighbourhood playground. And our research has shown that kids in a Biba-powered playground will play longer, harder and much more often.

And Biba games also have an important side benefit: they translate that healthy gameplay into a series of advanced analytics that park operators, schools boards and families can use to learn more about their community’s place spaces!
