Milestones Preschool Wellness Fair

The Milestones Preschool Wellness Fair is an annual, multi-agency event that helps to prepare children ages three and four for kindergarten. The planning committee has organized this free event for over twenty years in Brandon, Manitoba. 

At the fair, health care providers screen children, identify areas of concern, and provide a follow up plan prior to entering school. Public health nurses screen the preschoolers for general development. Speech and language, hearing, dental, and vision screening are also provided. Pre – Kindergarten immunizations will be offered.

The Get Your Benefits screening station asks questions about your child’s ID such as birth certificate and Social Insurance Number (SIN). Your child’s birth certificate is required to register for school. A birth certificate is also needed to apply for a SIN.

 Service Canada will be there to answer questions about federal benefits such as the new Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) that your family and you may be eligible for.

Service Canada can also issue a SIN for your child. In order to apply for a SIN for your child you will need to bring the child’s birth certificate, parent’s SIN, and ID.

There will be community resource displays with a play area for children.  A free nutritious snack and book are provided for the children. And there will be prizes to be won!  

This year the Milestones Preschool Wellness Fair will be held on Tuesday, April 29th, 2025 at the Keystone Centre from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm. Registrations for screening will be accepted until 5:00 pm. This allows time for the last children registered to go to all the screening stations.
