The Rolling Barrage

Everything was well organized and ready to go. We just had to load the trailer. Looking forward to see you in Bonnyville.

R.E.D. Friday / Portons du ROUGE

Every Friday, scheduling permitting, we invite you to remember everyone deployed as well as those serving our communities as first responders by wearing some red. No matter which uniform you’ve worn, you are not alone.

We are NOT SILENT!

This week we are highlighting the work of our police officers who ensure that our communities remain safe every day. Beyond law enforcement, they also intervene in difficult situations of all kinds. Situations that over time leave invisible wounds.

Let’s stay in touch, drop your picture in comment

Chaque vendredi, lorsque l’horaire le permet, nous vous invitons à vous souvenir de tous ceux déployés ainsi que ceux qui servent nos communautés en tant que premiers répondants, en revêtant du rouge. Peu importe l’uniforme que vous avez porté, vous n’êtes pas seuls.

Nous ne sommes PAS SILENCIEUX!

Cette semaine nous soulignons le travail de nos policiers et policières qui veillent chaque jour à ce que nos communautés demeurent en sécurité. Au-delà de l’application des lois, ils interviennent aussi dans des situations difficiles de toutes sortes. Des situations qui avec le temps, laissent des blessures invisibles.

Restons en contact, partagez votre photo en commentaire ~ Joy

Breaking The Cycle family program kids say thanks to their horses

Thank you to Lexi from Frederik
You are an amazing horse because at the beginning you were the only girl. Every horse plays a special role and you played a special role in my life.

From Olivia
Thank you Regent for being a very calm horse but I also enjoyed how you could be playful and calm all at once! I also noticed how good you are at running and jumping and really should join a track team you would be good. I’ll miss you but keep up the good work!

Thank you Flowerdew from Hugo
You showed me that you respected me in the obstacle course by listening to me. When I showed you a different way you did it. I will miss you a lot.

On Wednesday June 19th 2024 at 3pm, there was a meet n greet and donation event held at Inland Truck & Equipment 2505 Trans-Canada Highway in Kamloops, BC.
Today we unveiled the enclosed trailer donated to TRB by Mike Rude and The Rude Awakening Tour. The trailers beautifully laid out wrap was donated by Spartan Wellness. Spartan Wellness is also donating 8k bottles of water for our riders this July and August during our 8th Annual ride event.
I'm pleased to announce that Inland Truck & Equipment is supporting TRB this year with a pickup truck to pull our enclosed trailer. The trailer will be multipurpose for our mission as it will not only house our TRB gear, but more importantly, it will carry our safety and first aid equipment. Its donations and sponsorships like this which positively affect our mission success. With that increased mission support, The Rolling Barrage donated $7500 to Operation Pegasus Foundation

The Rolling Barrage PTSD Foundation is grateful for the support of these many incredible people, organizations and businesses.
~Bronco

It takes a community to support our mission success. That community isn't limited to those in uniform but it also comes down to those who believe our military, veterans and first responders deserve better for their service and sacrifice.

Larry Hall is one of those people. Larry opened his truckshop for TRB with open arms. We conducted a task while in his shop that we will be unveiling this Wednesday afternoon via our website and social media.

Thank you Larry for your gracious assistance and continued support.
