Ready, Set, Go! 2025: School Supply Support for Families

Registration is now open for Ready, Set, Go! 2025—a fantastic annual event that helps families gear up for the new school year with essential school supplies. This year, there will be two event dates and locations:

• August 20 – 12:00 to 6:00 PM at the YMCA (74 Mauretania Rd W)

• August 21 – 12:00 to 6:00 PM at My City Care (1401 28 St. N)

Families can register in advance or on the day of the event. If transportation is a barrier, bus tickets are available upon registration.

What to Expect

• Pre-Assembled Backpacks: My City Care will prepare backpacks ahead of time based on registration. Supplies are standardized and may not match individual school lists exactly.

• Missed the Event? No problem. After August 23, registered families can still pick up supplies at My City Care (note: the new location is 1401 28 St. N).

• Need Shoes? Shoes will not be available at this event. For students in need, schools can refer families to YQL Shoes for Kids through school Wellness Teams in the fall.

If you're having trouble registering, contact My City Care at 403-942-1378 for assistance.

Let’s help all students start the school year strong and confident.
