Family Day fun in City Hall & Churchill Square

Looking for something fun to do with your family this Family Day in Edmonton? Look no further than the City Room at City Hall, where you can enjoy live performances by double JUNO and WCMA nominee Beppie and JUNO award-winning artist Garth Prince. Afterward, dance to the high-energy sounds of Marango Pie, an eclectic mix of traditional Ukrainian music infused with a touch of swing.

If you prefer the great outdoors, head outside to the City Hall ice rink, where you can take a spin around the rink and participate in Family Day games and activities in Churchill Square, including drop-in street hockey hosted by Free Play. Warm up by the fire pit with a cup of free hot chocolate.

If you’re looking for indoor activities, the Muttart Conservatory is the place to be. With face painting, a planting activity, sensory play, and crafts, there’s something for everyone. Don’t miss the international art exhibit Gaia by UK artist Luke Jerram. General admission applies.

Don’t forget to participate in the City’s annual Winterscapes photo contest by creating a wintry display in your front yard and submitting your entry before February 27th. You could win some cool prizes!

If you’re still looking for more family fun, check out the Stanley A. Milner Library, the Art Gallery of Alberta, or the Alberta Legislature for free activities and events.

And don’t forget about the Silver Skate Festival at William Hawrelak Park, featuring live music, storytelling, snow sculptures, food vendors, and more.

Getting to these events is easy with convenient and accessible public transit options like buses and LRT. Use a Family/Day Pass to travel for up to five people for just $10.25.

Published on June 28, 2024

Red Deer Regional Health Foundation

The Red Deer Regional Health Foundation has announced the winners of the 2024 Red Deer Hospital Lottery Dream Home and Tiny Home prize packages, as well as the Mega Bucks 50.

The Mega Bucks 50 jackpot reached $607,200.00, which makes Carolyn Pelerine of Cochrane, Alberta the winner of $303,600.00.

In addition, the luxurious Tree Hugger Tiny Home Prize Package, complete with accessories by Urban Barn and valued at $163,798.00, is now owned by Mary Vincent of Red Deer.

The coveted Sorento Dream Home Prize Package, which includes furnishings and accessories by Urban Barn and boasts a total value of $1,072,624.00, has been awarded to Maxine Rumohr of Sylvan Lake.

The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.

“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”

Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.

This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.

The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.

The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
