Looking for a productive and engaging after-school activity for the kids? Head over to the Port Union branch for their weekly Youth Chess Program. Facilitated by members of the University of Toronto Scarborough Chess Club, this drop-in session invites players aged 7 to 17 to learn new strategies, play friendly matches, and connect with other young chess enthusiasts in the neighbourhood.
What to Expect
Whether your child is an absolute beginner looking to learn how the pieces move or an experienced player eager to test out new openings, all skill levels are welcome. The friendly volunteers from UTSC provide guidance, tips, and match pairings in a welcoming environment.
Practical Info
The club meets in the library's meeting room. No prior registration is required, but because space is limited, it is a good idea to arrive a few minutes early to secure a board. Best of all, the program is entirely free. While you're in the area, the Port Union waterfront park is just a short trip south—perfect for a post-match walk along Lake Ontario.
