Jake's Gift Is Back In Town...May 7th!The RDLPB is pleased to host Jake's Gift on Tuesday, May 7th at the Elks Lodge Red Deer. Jake's Gift has been described as "an award-winning play you do not want to miss" and we can definitely attest to that! Please consider joining us for a great evening with music from the pipe band followed by an outstanding play.

Flags of Remembrance On Saturday, October 25th, we had the privilege of taking part in Veterans Voices of Canada's Flags of Remembrance ceremony. The event took place on highway 11 just east of Sylvan Lake where 116 Canadian flags were raised in memory of the 116, 000 soldiers who have paid the ultimate sacrifice on behalf of our nation. It was a chilly day, but all those members present were honoured to participate and to pay our respects to Canada's fallen. It was especially poignant given the recent deaths of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and WO Patrice Vincent. The row of flags is a breathtaking sight for those driving by and for those of us who were in attendance at this ceremony. Many thanks to Allan Cameron for founding Veterans Voices of Canada and for organizing this great event.
