I can’t believe it’s March already, I swear I blinked and missed everything so far this year. One of my new years “resolutions”, or promises to my family was to be more present in our everyday life and to explore new and exciting ways to be active and have fun as a family. There’s no better place for us to get some inspiration, have some laughs and discover some fun new ways to “go green” than to check out the Healthy Family Expo as a family!
The 4th annual Healthy Family Expo is the must-see event for any families looking for inspiration for how to incorporate small steps into their likely very busy lives to lead a more eco-friendly and active lifestyle – all as a family! Having been blog ambassadors for the past 3 years for this event, we have discovered some of our favourite brands that have very quickly become staples in our homes. Whether you need a sample of a new food, or someone knowledgeable to answer all of your questions, there is no shortage of activity, information, and delicious foods to try out at the Expo! You might even spot a local celebrity or two wandering around like we did with the lovely Bobs and Lolo last year.
The Healthy Family Expo is a fun-filled day for the whole family that introduces Metro Vancouver parents to small steps & simple solutions for healthy, active, eco-friendly living.
Highlights of the 4th annual Healthy Family Expo coming up on Sunday, March 26, include:
- Meeting popular CBC Kids characters Daniel Tiger, Super WHY!, Bookaboo & Scout;

I’m most excited to see that Springfree Trampoline is a new addition to this year’s Active Kid Zone at the Expo! It’s the smart active living choice that delivers for the whole family and you can test-drive one for yourself at the event on March 26th. And guess what? One lucky family will be taking home a Springfree Trampoline through the Expo’s early bird ticket draw, and another one as part of the Expo’s Grand Prize Showcase (visit the Healthy Family Expo website for terms & conditions for those giveaways). That’s a prize valued at over $3000!
A is basically the biggest Springfree Trampoline fan ever when given the choice of going to the play place she always requests to visit the Coquitlam showroom for a chance to jump and hang out with the awesome (and incredibly fun and knowledgeable) Springfree staff. If you keep an eye on their Facebook pages in your area, they also host fun movie and holiday themed events that are completely free for local families to attend and we always have a blast!
Adult Expo tickets are $15 each online, cash at the door, or at London Drugs from March 1-26. Kids under 16 get in FREE and ALL ATTRACTIONS are included with admission! There is so much happening at the Expo and there is something for every member of the family!
