A Message from Paradise Acres Ranch & the Changing Lives Through Horses Foundation
We would like to address some comments and concerns that have recently appeared on social media regarding our participation in the parade alongside our elected representatives.
Paradise Acres Ranch and the Changing Lives Through Horses Foundation are, and always will be, focused on serving our community. Our organization welcomes individuals of all ages, backgrounds, abilities, and perspectives. Our mission is centered on connection, wellness, personal growth, inclusion, and strengthening community relationships through the power of horses.
Our participation in the parade was intended to celebrate our community and support the event itself. As part of that participation, we joined our elected representatives, who were present in their role as Members of Parliament and Members of the Legislative Assembly representing our area. Their attendance reflected their responsibilities as elected officials serving our constituency.
Our involvement should not be interpreted as an endorsement of any specific political position, movement, or agenda. In particular, it should not be viewed as support for Alberta separation or any related political initiative. That is simply not why we were there.
We are incredibly proud of the youth, families, volunteers, wranglers, and community members who represented our organization with kindness, professionalism, and community spirit throughout the event.
Our focus remains unchanged: serving people, building connections, creating opportunities, and making a positive impact in the lives of those we support.
Thank you to everyone who continues to stand beside us, volunteer with us, and believe in the work we do together.
Changing Lives Through Horses, One Connection at a Time.🐴❤️
