Kin Club of Okotoks supports community!

Okotoks has many amazing events over the summer! To make this events successful volunteers are needed for things like manning barricades, first aid tents, zone managers, waste management and information tents just to name a few of the tasks that need to be covered.

Last year many of you were upset about the Show-N-Shine moving out of the downtown so this is your chance to help keep it downtown. Sign up to volunteer! Just a couple hours will make all the difference and support the Okotoks Kinsmen Club execute a staple event in our community.

Beat the heat with two new hydrant water fountains, set to be ready for use on June 13 - just in time for parade! Located in our downtown event zone, each fountain will be attached to a fire hydrant, providing the same safe, reliable drinking water that comes out of our taps. The fountains are designed with both human and dog-friendly capabilities, ensuring that everyone, including our furry friends, stays hydrated. Their efficient design also means that they can be quickly disassembled with no impact on fire response.

The fountains will stay covered until the provincial labs confirm the water samples have passed all required tests. Once we receive the all-clear from Alberta Health Services (AHS), we will remove the covers, flush the fountains, and have them ready for use.

This weekend's Children's Festival was a blast, and the rain waited until the very end to make its appearance! Our slingshot and ax throwing games were a huge success, and the giant lollipop was the perfect way to cap off the event!

We had a great time at our Member BBQ/AGM and C.A.R.E program!
Many laughs, amazing people and tons of yummy food!

Look for us at the Children’s Festival! We’re the ones giving out smiles and with the big sun target.
