The City of Grande Prairie is set to host its annual Heritage Day celebration at the beginning of August.
Mayor Jackie Clayton says the August 3rd event will be held at the Grande Prairie Museum’s Heritage Village, and hopes as many people as possible come out to take in what she calls a special opportunity to come together and honour the rich culture of the region.
“We encourage residents and visitors to join the celebration by attending the event or by setting up a cultural or community booth.”
The event, which will take place from 12 to 5 p.m., will include old-fashioned carnival games, including can toss. In addition, there will be a Drumming circle performance from a local Indigenous group, as well as a HAM radio demonstrations as HAM radios were used as a communication tool back in the 20th century for people to talk across the world before cell phones were created.
