Today is Firefighters' National Memorial Day. Flags at Town facilities are being flown at half-mast to honour and remember our fallen heroes and remind their families that the sacrifices of their loved ones are not forgotten.

This day is not just about remembering those we’ve lost, it’s also a reminder of the dangers that come with being a firefighter and the courage that it takes for firefighters to regularly put their lives on the line for the people in their community.

A full-service, fun Trivia Challenge event at 19 on the Park with your friends to take home bragging rights! Prizes for trivia champions and raffle draws throughout for more excitement! This is a 19+ event with snacks and alcohol service available for purchase on-site. Team play is preferred.
