Town of Peace River is proud to welcome back its Spring Parade of Programs April 9.
Peace River Family and Community Support Services programmer Tamara Brunham says the ever-popular event will be held at the Baytex Energy Centre from 5:30-7 p.m. and there will be a lot of information for families in the area.
“FCSS hosts this event to make it easy for those looking to explore local programs and clubs in person all under one roof,” explains Brunham.
“Families, individuals, newcomers, anyone interested in spring or summer activities, and those interested in learning more about what is offered in the community should attend the event.”
Brunham says this year they will see different types of sports and sport-related agencies in attendance.
“This year, Kidsport will be attending,” says Brunham. “The Town always likes to highlight its facilities and departments to provide residents the opportunity to talk face-to-face about upcoming programs and events. Family Resource Network, recreation, pool and sometimes the museum attends. We have seen an upswing in adult programs as well and welcome the variety.”
Parade of Programs runs twice a year, with an event in both spring and fall.
Brunham says to expect upwards of 20 tables of available activities in the spring, and nearly 30 in the fall.
“Community events are always important in this digital age,” she adds. “This in-person interactive event gives everyone the opportunity to explore what the region has to offer this season.”
FCSS hosts the Parade of Programs for the Town of Peace River to highlight sport, arts and culture in the Peace River region.
“This in-person event removes barriers for people who may not have reliable internet or transportation to multiple locations,” she concludes.
“I think the highlight of the event for participants is leaving the event with more knowledge about getting involved in physical activity, creative expression or cultural experiences.”
