Creator Ken's biography
I have been enthusiastically working in event planning for children well over 20 years. To me enthusiasm is everything: deadlines, challenges, long hours and creative solutions are impossible without it.
At the age of 13, I volunteered at the Ottawa YM-YWCA. In the eight years there, I created their drama camp, saved the Ottawa Children’s festival, participated in the festival’s Board of Directors and learned that hard work can be fun when you are surrounded by great people.
Young and ambitious, I decided that I would thoroughly enjoy continuing to work with children: I figured the best way to do this was by launching Visiting Children’s Recreation (VCR), a company that works with event and convention organizers to provide programs exclusively for children.
Shortly after that, I expanded my services to local community centres, providing workshops on acting and video production. I have created children’s programs for conventions, community centres, after school programs and summer camps. These events support thousands of participants each year.
It is my responsibility to create events that are both fun and meet safety standards for children in a cost effective way. This includes hiring of Bondable and skilled staff, providing required equipment and a proper schedule for the children’s age and needs.
If you are looking to provide a program at your event that includes things for children contact me and we can work together to make a fun and safe program for children.
