Today is the first day of registration for this year’s Get Up and Go Wood Buffalo event.
“The second Get up and Go Wood Buffalo event was held last September and was such a huge success,” said Michele Taylor, Director of Aquatics and Leisure Services at MacDonald Island Park Corporation. “We are excited to bring it back again for the third time to give recreation agencies and service clubs the opportunity to showcase what they can offer our residents.”
Get up and Go Wood Buffalo hopes to promote the importance of community involvement and volunteerism. Last year’s Get up and Go brought more than 1,000 residents to the free, trade-show style event featuring more than 60 community organizations.
Registration forms are available online through www.macdonaldisland.ca or can be picked up at Guest Services in the Suncor Community Leisure Centre. Booths are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis for a fee of $25 which includes a networking breakfast prior to the event.
This year’s event will be held on Saturday, September 17 from 12 noon until 4:00 p.m. at the Suncor Community Leisure Centre.
