In celebration of Military Family Appreciation Day, we’re giving Central Alberta military and veteran families the chance to win childminding passes for local recreation facilities!
Whether you want to squeeze in a workout, hit the pool, take a fitness class, or simply enjoy some uninterrupted time at the recreation centre, these passes can make getting out and getting active with little ones a whole lot easier.
🎁 PRIZES

G.H. Dawe & Collicutt Centre Childminding Punch Cards – Red Deer
These flexible punch cards can be used for drop-in childminding at both the G.H. Dawe Community Centre and Collicutt Centre, giving families even more options for fitting recreation and wellness into busy schedules.

Military families do a lot of juggling, and sometimes having someone safely entertain the kids while you do something for yourself can make all the difference.
That’s why we’re especially excited to share these prizes as part of this year’s Red Deer Military Family Appreciation Day.
