Legion to celebrate first responders on Saturday
A first of its kind in Grande Prairie, First Responders Appreciation Day is being held tomorrow.
A parade from the Farmers Market to the Legion will kick things off along with the proclamation of Veteran’s Way at noon. There will be a mock accident at 3:30 p.m.
“It’s basically an educational day that we have planned for the youth to come and see exactly what the first responders are responsible for,” explained Barry Lazoruk with the Royal Canadian Legion in Grande Prairie. “What the rolls are for the firefighters and the RCMP and STARS, EMS and the triage unit and how they work together when an accident happens.”
There will be free hamburgers and hotdogs, kids’ games and prizes.
