As we practice physical distancing to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, there are some great ways to keep ourselves and our families engaged and entertained. Here are a few local offerings to keep you busy as we flatten the curve by staying home and staying safe. Together we are #DurhamStrong.

Colouring Pages

Let’s get creative! Below you’ll find a series of eight colouring pages that represent some of the hard work of our Regional departments delivering essential services. These pages can be downloaded, and printed to colour at home.
