Forever Canadian Unity Bus stops in Sundre on September 4
The family-friendly event will encourage residents to vote in the upcoming referendum on Alberta's place in Canada. It runs from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Gazebo across from the Town of Sundre building.
Why it matters
The event is part of a province-wide campaign encouraging Albertans to vote in an upcoming referendum on the province's relationship with Canada.
A stop on the Forever Canadian Unity Bus tour will bring a family-friendly event to Sundre on Friday, September 4, running from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Gazebo across from the Town of Sundre building.
Activities will include a photo op with a large Forever Canadian sign, sidewalk chalk, a sign-up table for free lawn signs, and refreshments. Volunteers will hand out Canadian flags and lawn signs, and attendees are encouraged to bring a lawn chair.
Local organizer Kim Free said she believes Alberta is better off remaining in Canada, adding she would prefer a premier and government willing to work with Ottawa to improve the relationship, even while acknowledging it isn't perfect.
The stop is part of a wider tour launched by Thomas Lukaszuk and the Forever Canadian movement, which aims to keep Alberta within Canada and encourage voter turnout in the upcoming referendum. Organizers stressed the event is not a fundraiser and no donations will be solicited on-site.
