Canada Day 2024

This Canada Day the NWR FASD Society - Mackenzie Region participated in the town of High Level and Paddle Prairie’s community events.

The Parade

Huge thank you to 2R Services for donating their bed truck and their time to drive in the parade. We would also like to thank Jay and Tarah Krahn for the donation of their shop space to decorate and store the float prior to the parade. We couldn’t have done it without you!

The theme of our float was “everyone plays a part” which is this years theme for FASD Day/Month. We spread this message through our float decor and we also handed out candy in branded NWR FASD Society bags.

Centennial Park in High Level

After the parade we all met back at centennial park to start face painting. The town event had a record number of attendees and we painted close to 400 faces!

Paddle Prairie Canada Day

In Paddle Prairie members of our staff attended their events. We set up face painting and handed out candy to all the children who attended. There was also a dance in the evening.
