Community Info Expo To Showcase Local Programs and Resources
The Town of Blackfalds is hosting its annual Community Info Expo on Monday, September 14 with the purpose of introducing community members with organizations, in town and throughout local communities, and their services!
This year's event will feature a record-breaking 39 organizations and community groups, highlighting the many opportunities, services, and supports available throughout the community.
“The Info Expo is especially great for new residents, families with children or youth, or those who are wanting to get involved with their community. There are so many local organizations that will all be in one spot, making learning about the various services offered in the community simple,” shared FCSS Manager Wendy Griffin.
Town of Blackfalds departments will also be in attendance. Family and Community Support Services will showcase upcoming youth and seniors programming, support services, and volunteer opportunities; the Abbey Centre will share information about its fitness, youth, and seniors programs; the Blackfalds Fire Department will display its equipment; and members of Town Council will be available to discuss the 2027 budget.
“I encourage residents and businesses to come out to the Info Expo and see all that Blackfalds has to offer. It is a great opportunity to learn about the many programs, services, and organizations that help make our community such a great place to live,” added Mayor Laura Svab. “With food trucks on site, you can grab supper and enjoy an evening connecting with friends, neighbours, and local groups. Members of Council will be there as well, and we look forward to meeting residents, hearing your ideas, and having meaningful conversations about our community.
While the event is free to attend, there will also be 3 Pink Flamingos and Simple Spice food trucks in attendance for a cost.
The Community Info Expo starts at 6:00pm on September 14 at the Blackfalds Community Centre.
