“When one person wears the uniform, the whole family serves.”

This National Military Family Appreciation Day, we’re celebrating the incredible strength, resilience, and heart of military families by taking over Boardwalk Entertainment Centre for an afternoon packed with fun, connection, and community.

Whether you are a Regular Force, Reserve, or Veteran family, this event is for you.

Behind every service member is a family making sacrifices too. Early mornings, missed holidays, last-minute changes, and long waits. Through it all, military families continue to show up with strength, adaptability, and courage every single day. This event is our way of saying thank you.

Come enjoy a relaxed, welcoming afternoon where kids can laugh, play, and burn off energy while parents connect, recharge, and spend time with people who truly understand the military lifestyle.

What’s Included:

• 7D Dark Ride thrills - Step into an immersive, action-packed adventure the whole family will love.
• Arcade games & prizes - Use your play cards to explore the arcade, challenge each other, and win prizes along the way.
• Food & refreshments - Enjoy Taco in a Bag, mini doughnuts, and a beverage while you take in the fun.
• Community connection & support - Meet representatives from the Calgary MFRC (Red Deer Regional Office) and learn about programs, services, and local resources available to support military and Veteran families.

Most importantly, this is a chance to celebrate you.

To laugh a little louder. Relax a little easier. Make memories together. And spend time surrounded by a community that understands the unique journey military families live every day.
