If you’ve been waiting all year to celebrate Easter and all of its meaning, FABuLAS is hoping you’ll attend its annual Easter Brunch on March 29 with your family.
“Our annual brunch has become a cherished community tradition,” says FABuLAS president Julie Roussin.
“It provides a welcoming space for families, friends, and neighbours to connect, catch up, and celebrate together. We’re proud to create an environment where everyone can enjoy meaningful time with one another.”
The brunch will be held from 9 a.m. until noon at Ecole Routhier School in Falher.
“This year, our Easter Brunch is focused on building a community reserve fund,” explains Roussin.
“This will allow us to respond throughout the year to support local initiatives, organizations, and community members who may need a helping hand with projects and events,” she adds.
The brunch will also feature many exciting features to provide a little bit of fun for children and parents alike.
“Guests can enjoy a delicious brunch, browse our raffle table, purchase beautiful flowers on-site, and take part in fun family-friendly activities including kids’ crafts and an exciting helicopter candy drop,” she says.
“Our beloved town mascot, Beesabeille, along with the Easter Bunny, will be joining us. They’ll be available for photos, mingling with guests, and taking part in the candy drop festivities.”
Roussin says the candy drop will take place on the tarmac located on the south side of the school.
“This event brings together everything we love, community connection, supporting a great cause, and festive Easter fun for all ages,” Roussin says.
“Our brunch supports and highlights local businesses and sponsors while creating a vibrant space for the community to gather. Funds raised help us give back by supporting local organizations and initiatives throughout the year.”
The brunch will feature a classic spread of food including sausages, hashbrowns, pancakes and juice, coffee, tea and water.
“Children can enjoy creative activities like Easter-themed scratch art, along with the candy drop, raffle excitement, and plenty of opportunities to socialize and have fun,” exclaims Roussin.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Mother Nature’s Delight, who will be offering beautiful flowers for purchase at the event—perfect for celebrating the season and supporting a local business.”
Tickets for the event can be purchased by phoning Julie at (780) 837-6720. E-

“We extend our sincere gratitude to all of our sponsors, your support makes events like this possible,” she says.
“We’re also incredibly thankful for our attendees, whose participation helps make our fundraisers successful and impactful for the community.”
Roussin also reminds anyone who purchased flowers through the FABuLAS flower basket fundraiser that pickup day will be held on May 7 from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m.
