\n<\/em>
\nIn 2008, best friends and Calgary moms, Melissa and Voula, grew tired of missing out on some of the great family-friendly events and activities in their hometown. They put their heads together in search of a solution, decided to start a website that would keep local parents in the know about all of the family-friendly opportunities in the city, and Family Fun Calgary was born. Since that time, these ladies have grown the Family Fun network to include 5 other cities across Canada and introduced the popular Family Fun Canada<\/a> website which explores travel tips and destinations that hold appeal for Canadian families. To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the amazing Family Fun Canada network, we have compiled a list of our readers’ all-time favourites from our Calgary site:<\/p>\n
