This Juneteenth we’re celebrating the Elks Parade and how proud it made our community feel!
Our events this year will take place on 15th June 2025 (Father’s day), starting at 1PM. They’ll include a parade in honour of the Elk’s Parade, and a community day including a health bus and community vendors.
