Giving Back Through Powerful Partnerships
The Southern Alberta Home, Garden & Leisure Show was thrilled to partner with HALO Air Ambulance for the second consecutive year.
The onsite helicopter display was a major attraction, drawing in crowds eager to learn about HALO’s lifesaving work. Their 50/50 draw was another highlight of the event, generating incredible community support and nearly reaching an impressive $30,000.00 in total winnings.
Who BILDs it Best
Who BILDs it Best is a live building competition for high school students who are enrolled in the dual credit program with the Southern Alberta Collegiate Institute. We can’t wait to support these incredible students again in 2026. More details coming soon!
