Organizer
Paddle Prairie Library
We are a small library striving to increase community involvement, expand knowledge for future generations and connect the community with various supports. Each year we share our practices, our traditional ways and involve the everyone through teachings, information and stories. This year our team includes the Paddle Prairie Library along with the Paddle Prairie school, the community services team; Seniors, Early Childhood, Parent Link, Recreation, Early Intervention and the prevention worker. The Library is very grateful for all the local support it is receiving through this project. Due to the increased interest the event had to be moved from the library to behind the arena.
