Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for joining us at the LaDue Ladies Luncheon this year. 🤍

As summer comes to a close, we’re reflecting on a beautiful day spent connecting as cowgirls, celebrating community, and supporting the next generation of educated young women.

We’re already looking forward to next summer and celebrating the 2027 class of Cowgirls. Until then, thank you for being part of the LaDue family. 🤍

Today’s event wouldn’t have been possible without our incredible partners at Richardson Wealth!

There was no better way to welcome their team to the LaDue Ladies Lunch than by throwing them right into the excitement of our energy-filled event. It was incredible to see our two teams come together to create such a meaningful day of celebration.

In addition to helping provide scholarship funding, they also announced an exciting new mentorship opportunity for one member of our Class of Cowgirls!

Thank you to the Richardson Wealth team for your enthusiasm, generosity, and unwavering support. Your commitment to investing in the next generation of women is helping create opportunities that will have a lasting impact.

🤍 Here’s to building connections, creating opportunities, and celebrating the incredible women who make it all possible.

This year, we are proud to partner with Alberta-based oil painter .gould.art🎨✨

Renee’s work is inspired by the rhythms of rural life, Western culture, and the communities that shape it. In collaboration with LaDue Ladies Luncheon, she has created a custom silk scarf, twilly, and an original painting that celebrates the legacy of Flores LaDue.

The original artwork will be featured and auctioned during our live auction on July 2nd, with all proceeds supporting our scholarship fund for the 2027 class of cowgirls. The silk scarves and twillys will also be available for purchase during the luncheon in support of the same cause.

Inspired by Flores LaDue—who challenged expectations and built a life on her own terms long before women were widely afforded such opportunities—Renee’s work reflects a shared belief that being a cowgirl is not defined by a job, place, or lifestyle, but by character, resilience, and the courage to forge your own path!

✨ This is the week✨

The countdown is on for the annual La Due Ladies Luncheon!

A place where we celebrate the spirit of the great Lady La Due and the remarkable women who make our Western community so special. It's a celebration of cowgirls—their strength, generosity, leadership, and the friendships that bring us together.

We're counting down the days until we gather on July 2 to honour this year's class of scholarship recipients, and to welcome friends, family, sponsors, and supporters for an unforgettable afternoon!

Together, we're celebrating our past, investing in our future, and ensuring the next generation of cowgirls has every opportunity to succeed.

At its heart, the La Due Ladies Luncheon is a celebration of community, connection, and the remarkable people who make our western world so special 🤍

Each year, women from across our community come together to share stories, build friendships, and support a cause that invests in the next generation of women pursuing post-secondary education 🎓

Through the lens of Janis Isaman of Photos of People, a cowgirl in her own right, the spirit of last year’s luncheon was beautifully captured!

As we prepare to gather again on July 2, 2026, we take a moment to look back on the memories that made our 2025 event so meaningful!

We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable day of cowgirl camaraderie, inspiration, and giving!

See you soon 🤠✨

We are honoured to be presenting our 2026 Miss Rodeo Canada, Abbey, with a scholarship in recognition of her academic achievements and dedication to serving others!

Abbey’s pursuit of two lifelong dreams — becoming Miss Rodeo Canada and one day working as a nurse — has guided her journey over the past several years. After completing her Health Care Aide certificate, she continued her education through the nursing program at Saskatchewan Polytechnic, demonstrating the same determination and commitment that have made her an outstanding ambassador for the rodeo community.

Throughout her reign, Abbey has brought her passion for healthcare beyond the classroom and into communities across Canada. Whether visiting hospitals or spending time in long-term care homes, some of her favourite stops along the rodeo trail, she has shared kindness, compassion, and the spirit of rodeo with those who need it most.

At the LaDue Ladies Luncheon, we believe in supporting young women who use education, leadership, and service to make a difference in their communities!

Abbey embodies those values, and we are proud to present her scholarship on July 2🤍

✨Join us in congratulating Abbey on all she has accomplished and all that lies ahead✨
