Monday was the annual Alberta Family Day holiday.
Mild weather took the “shiver” out of St. Paul’s Shiver Fest celebrations, but organizers had wisely planned for whatever the weather might bring. The outdoor ice wasn’t suitable for skating, but there were plenty of activities from Wednesday through to Monday to provide family fun.
The Bonnyville Oilmen’s Society managed to put on a Sunday program of various outdoor activities on the ice at Vezeau Beach (see pictures).
Elk Point laid on a family cultural program at the Allied Arts Centre Monday afternoon.
The usual Family Day venues around Cold Lake—the Energy Centre, Col. J.J. Parr Recreation Centre, and Kinosoo Ridge in the M.D. of Bonnyville—were occupied with the Alberta Winter Games, but families were welcome to come out and enjoy the action.
