| This summer all roads lead to Family with hot new programming, chillin' events and the highly anticipated premiere of High School Musical 2 |

The Chills are back and paving the road to the most anticipated event of the summer, the premiere of High School Musical 2 on Astral Media’s Family Channel on Friday, August 17. The fifth-annual, cross-country Summer Chill tour kicks off in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on July 1, 2007.
Visiting camps, parks and recreation locations nation wide, each Summer Chill event is an opportunity for families to come together for fun in the sun and the chance to beat the heat with chillin’ treats and activities. This year’s games are comprised of High School Musical 2 themed challenges, including the Get’cha Head in the Game obstacle course and the Sing it All or Nothing Karaoke contest.
Presiding over the day’s events – and handing out a ton of goodies – will be Family’s ambassadors the Chills, Nana Banana, Mini, and Shawna. The Chills will also be responsible for judging which community’s parks and recreation department helps put on the Most Fun Event, with the winning municipality receiving a $10,000 cash prize. The competition will be stiff, with parks and recreation departments nationwide anxious to “out-fun” last year’s winner, Calgary’s Cardel Place.
The tour begins July 1 in Halifax and will end in Vancouver on August 25. In addition to the scheduled public stops, the Summer Chill van will make stops at camps across the country. At each stop Kisko Freezies will be given away along with Family and High School Musical 2 prizes.
Complementing the tour throughout the summer will be new episodes of Family Channel favourite programming including, Hannah Montana, The Suite Life of Zack and Cody, the 2007 Disney Channel Games and the world premiere of High School Musical 2 on Friday, August 17 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.
