Thank you a HUGE amount to all of the volunteers that came out to Build FREEDOM COMMUNITY PARK!!!

Our community came together yesterday and a few days prior to build FREEDOM Community playground and the green space.  It is amazing at the amount of work for the pre build.  Our awesome crew of pre build volunteers did a fantastic job Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.  Thank you from everyone as we could not have been able to barn raise our playground and green space yesterday.  We still required an amount of fantastic volunteers who actually showed up in droves!!!  We had teams and parents with grand parents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles, friends , Everyone!!!  I can not even begin to tell you how much you are appreciated.  This really does prove that we have a community that loves our children, no matter what.  THANK YOU again Cold lake and the surrounding communities.  We really must love Cold Lake!  All of you should be proud!!!!
