Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day<\/strong><\/h5>\n

 
\n\"\"\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \"\"<\/p>\n

On June 25th 2022, BBBV-Calgary volunteers participated in the organization and smooth running of the Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day at the Cit\u00e9 des Rocheuses. They held several positions hosting and managing activity stations, allowing the community to join together in a warm and welcoming family atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Committed to the growth of the Calgary Francophone community, our volunteers lent a hand to the Centre d\u2019Appui Familial (Family Support Centre) and made possible for Francophone families to leave their homes and socialize after a long stretch of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

As a vehicle of bonding and solidarity, volunteering allowed everyone to better the event with their diversity and expertise.<\/p>\n

A big thank you to our invaluable volunteers for their participation and dedication!<\/p>\n
