We had a great time teaching our participants about cowboy culture and the history of the rodeo! We are excited to see them at the rodeo and chuckwagons in High River this year:)

It was such a pleasure to collaborate with and attend the Salvation Army's Community Dinner last week! The food was delicious, the dancing spectacular, and it was a joy to meet so many community members. Thank you to everyone that helped, performed, and supported this event!!

Last Summer we held 4 playground resource events in Okotoks and High River. They were inspired by a Filipino immigrant mother and business owner who recognized the challenges that new immigrants face when settling in the community. FLIP organized a resource fair at the playground where children could play, and caregivers could learn about the resources in the community. We are excited to bring Playground Playdates for a second year!! Starting June 16th in High River and June 17th in Okotoks! Can't wait to see you there!

Join us on June 5th for a free baking class! Hosted by a local volunteer, participants will learn how to make a traditional Czech pastry. This event is part of our Skill Share series! Reach out for more details and stay tuned for future Skill Shares! Link in bio to register.

🎄Thank you to FLIP partners and everyone who helped welcome newcomers to the Foothills this past year. Wishing you joyful holidays, and I look forward to our continued collaboration in the new year! ✨
