The Grand Parade is a family-friendly fundraiser walk that helps support local charities who provide essential care and service for aging Canadians. Team up, walk, and fundraise with us on Saturday, September 21, 2024!
Bridges Community Living's mission is to provide affordable housing for those 55+ with appropriate supports in a caring environment. It is also our mandate to provide safe, welcoming and comfortable homes where our residents feel connected to a vibrant community.
Bridges is a non-profit charity located in Red Deer with both self-contained living accommodations and lodge style residences. Bridges has approximately 650 residents. Bridges has been in existence since 1979 with our previous name being Piper Creek Foundation. Bridges was founded by the Kiwanis Club of Red Deer and later managed by the Twilight Homes Foundation before being turned over to the province of Alberta. Close to 650 low to moderate income residents reside in our three lodges and seven apartment complexes in Red Deer.
The 3rd Annual Bridges Community Living Grand Parade will begin and end at Parkvale Lodge with this year's walk using the beautiful City of Red Deer trails located just behind Parkvale lodge.
The 2.5 km loop will take you around the trails twice and for those of you who are daily walkers, four times around will get you your 5 km walk in for the day.
There is parking in front of Parkvale Lodge on the west side of the street. (Please note that the parking areas inside will be used for the BBQ and for Team Cheers!) Proceed to the registration area inside Parkvale Lodge's main recreation room and enjoy a coffee and treat sponsored by Tim Horton's and the Twilight Homes Foundation.
There will be two rest stops:
#1 in front of Parkvale Lodge as you make the first turn on the loop of the 2 km walk
#2 at the halfway point of the loop where you can get some sweets and treats to regain your energy!
What a great combination, a beautiful walk in nature supporting seniors in your community finished off by a BBQ Lunch and live music and sponsored by Sysco Foods and Olymel, Red Deer under the watchful eye of the chefs from the Kinsmen Club of Red Deer
Get your team together, register, and help raise some funds for Bridges Community Living all while have a great day with lots of laughs and lots of fun!!
