Wheels spinning in hopes of raising money for charity

Prairie River Gas Co-op hosted the Tour of Hope barbecue June 5 to raise funds for Kids With Cancer Society. The annual Tour of Hope – held June 3-8 in 2025 – is an epic cycling adventure through spectacular scenery with challenging daily rides to support children fighting cancer. The 2025 tour took 24 cyclists over 600 kms from Grande Prairie to Valleyview, through High Prairie to Slave Lake, Westlock and finishing in Edmonton. The tour raises awareness and funds for children and their families who are on their cancer journeys. All cyclists’ fundraising efforts go directly toward specialized programs and services that families need, from the time of their child’s diagnosis throughout treatment and beyond.
