This is drop in, open to all ages and is pure fun. There is pizza (or another tasty supper) and a bouncy castle along with a bunch of toys to play around with. DadConnexx -"On Location" is when we use community locations to hold DadConnexx events. This could be held at fire halls, bouldering, batting cages, or any other community area. DadConnexx"Break Out" is just for Dads (no kids). This is where Dads can come and learn about parenting topics that they want to know more info about. It could be how to deal with tantrums all the way up to dealing with Teenagers. These are free events that come with food and is just with Dads or any male role model. Come for the food
Stay for the fun

In communities across Canada, safe places matter more than ever. As we step into our third decade, we are excited to launch this year’s Western Communities Foundation National Walk for Safe Places.

From coast to coast, our teams are taking steps toward stronger, safer, and more resilient communities. Together, we have already taken over 100 million collective steps since 2005.

And this year, it is more than a walk. As our Foundation celebrates 25 years of giving back, something new is coming to support communities when they need it most. Stay tuned.

Join us on May 14 for a 5 km walk at one of our flagship celebration hubs across Canada, including Dawson Creek and Victoria in BC, Strathmore in AB, Lloydminster in SK, Winnipeg in MB, Schomberg in ON, and Saint John and Bedford in the Maritimes.

See all flagship locations at: https://westernfinancialgroup.ca/Foundation-National-Walk
