The City of Red Deer is launching a new series of community events in Capstone, starting with one to celebrate Father’s Day.

For the day of dads, local chalk artist Haley Abrahamsz will unveil her Father’s Day mural, which can be viewed all week (weather dependent).

Food trucks will also be in Canada 150 Square from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., providing outdoor food choices in addition to the many food and beverage options already in Capstone.

The first 200 customers will also receive a complimentary soda coupon for Troubled Monk, and Spandy Andy may be bouncing his way around the area.

“For the next several months, as restrictions ease, our team will be focused on creating events that showcase the many features and amenities that the Capstone community has to offer, in a way that feels comfortable and safe for Red Deerians to attend”, says John Sennema, Manager of Land and Economic Development.

“This includes events that happen over a period of several weeks so that people can attend without encountering large crowds, and installations that are spread out over the community.”

Future activities include scavenger hunts, food truck festivals, outdoor recreation classes, and art installations.

“Activating these spaces is a critical step in the adoption of the neighbourhood vision,” says Project Manager Cory Edinga, adding, “especially as this master-planned community evolves into an active, modern community.”

Following research last year, The City says future residents of Capstone — AKA ‘Cap-citizens’ — will be curious, active types who are social and community-minded, adding that future events will be planned with their needs and wants in mind.
