Canada Day Program Coming Together for Larger Event!
The Richer Recreation Canada Day sub-Committee is working hard at creating a larger event this year. According to Dan Guetre, chair of the subcommittee, “we are spending an additional $2,000 on fireworks above what we did last year.” He noted that the event will again start at the Dawson Trail Museum in the early afternoon and move over to the park at around 4 pm. “We are looking at hosting live music, our annual BBQ, hayrides, face painting, balloon creation, free Canada Day cake, and free popcorn,” he stated, “plus a matinee family movie in the park and multiple bouncy castles.” He added that there will be gift bags for kids and possibly a mini old style carnival.
Similar to last year, people are invited to help out raise the teepees in the park. Groups like the Richer Métis local and both the Richer Fellowship Church and the Evangelical Lutheran Brethren Church of Richer have also jumping in to make the day a success. “We may also have a search and rescue organization coming out with some drones and other equipment that is sure to entice both kids and adults,” Guetre added.
