A huge thank you to all our volunteers who helped make this day a success. We were privileged to have the Mayor of Red Deer bring greetings and introduce our guest speaker, MP Joy Smith. Her presentation helped all those gathered to know the need for a home for the recovery of people exploited by human trafficking. We also were pleased to welcome the Mayor of Sylvan Lake, Sean McIntyre and two Red Deer City Councillors, Ken Johnson and Buck Buchanan to our gathering.

Our Fair Trade Expo, taking place on the same day, had beautiful displays from Ten Thousand Villages,Planet Earth and Ark Imports. We are beginning the journey to make Red Deer a Fair Trade City.
