Post Parade






We had a great time in the Griz Days Parade on Friday. I can't believe how many people came out to watch! We were handing out suckers with the URL of this blog so that people could look us up, but we ran out pretty early. Word on the street is that folks had no idea who we were or what we're up to. Hopefully we generated some interest and traffic to this blog.

A huge THANKS for the enthusiasm of our 'float' troupe! The kids that lent us a hand were much appreciated. I love it that we all worked together and had a great time. What a lovely experience to be in a parade with all of you :)

We know that we have a long way to go before we have programs for kids and youth up and running, but it is thanks to the wonderful Fernie Alpine Resort SUMMIT FUND that we even got this far. Thanks to a generous grant from them, we were able to become incorporated as a BC non-profit society and an official Charitable Society with Canada Revenue Agency. Thank you to the Summit Fund for seeing the potential in our idea and giving us some seed money to start!
