Skate Park Luau Recap!

It's been one month since our Skate Park Luau and we just want to say what an incredible evening we had! The skate park was buzzing with energy as tons of local youth came out to enjoy the festivities, connect with friends, and take part in a fun-filled summer event. From the great atmosphere to the awesome activities, it was wonderful to see so many young people making memories and having a great time together.

Events like this wouldn't be possible without the support of our amazing community partners and sponsors. We'd like to extend a heartfelt thank you to:

- Edson FCSS for providing many of the supplies that helped make the event a success
- Secure Energy for keeping everyone fed by running the BBQ
- Castle Rentals for donating the generator and light tower
- St. John Ambulance for providing excellent first aid services throughout the event
- Centurion Canada Rentals & Services for supplying the portable toilets
- Panago Pizza and Vicious Cycle & Snow for donating giveaways and prizes

Thank you to everyone who attended and helped create such a fun, safe, and welcoming event. We love seeing our community come together, and we're already looking forward to the next one!

The Community Engagement Action Team was out and about this morning delivering kindness cookies to 11 local businesses in celebration of Random Acts of Kindness Week! 🍪

This small gesture was our way of saying thank you to the businesses that help make our community such a wonderful place to live, work, and connect. We hope these sweet treats sparked a few smiles, and inspire even more random acts of kindness throughout our town.

We have included a list of ideas on how you can spread kindness in your community, as well as pictures of some of the wonderful community members we visited this morning.

Kindness is contagious, let’s keep it going!
