The Army, Navy, and Air Force Veterans of Canada will soon hold the official grand opening at their new new location in Grande Prairie, more than two years after starting the process of moving to the area.
On May 9th, the doors will officially swing open with a plethora of plans in place including the presentation of a King Charles III Coronation medal. The day will also include a performance by the Grande Prairie & District Pipes and Drum band, refreshments, door prizes and a cash bar.
During the soft launch of the location in December, officials said the need for a new facility was definitely high, but the process unfortunately left several members without a social club for nearly two years. Adding they’re thoroughly excited to be able to welcome any potential new members to join those who have been enjoying the services since the end of 2024.
“I think everybody was very excited to get open and welcome members back, the veterans back, and really anybody from the public who is looking to join our club.”
The event will take place from 3 p.m. to 8 p.m. on May 9th at 10203 106 Avenue.
