Blackfalds to host record 39-group Community Info Expo Sept. 14
The free evening event at the Blackfalds Community Centre will let residents connect with local organizations, town departments and council members over food truck fare.
The Town of Blackfalds will hold its annual Community Info Expo on Monday, Sept. 14 at 6 p.m. at the Blackfalds Community Centre. Admission is free, and this year's event will feature 39 organizations and community groups, the largest turnout in the expo's history.
The event is designed to connect residents, especially newcomers and families, with local services in one location. Family and Community Support Services will highlight upcoming youth and seniors programming along with volunteer opportunities, while the Abbey Centre will present its fitness, youth and seniors offerings. The Blackfalds Fire Department will display equipment on site.
Town council members will also attend, giving residents a chance to discuss the 2027 budget and share feedback directly. FCSS Manager Wendy Griffin said the expo simplifies learning about the range of services available in the community, particularly for new residents and families.
Mayor Laura Svab encouraged residents and businesses to attend, noting food trucks will be on site for those looking to grab supper while meeting neighbours, local groups and council members.
