During a recent government meeting, officials discussed plans for upcoming community events aimed at enhancing local engagement and recreation in Fraser. The meeting highlighted the success of a recent camping event that quickly sold out, prompting ideas for future activities, including a potential Halloween stroll scheduled for October 25, 2025. This event aims to differentiate itself from existing trunk-or-treat events by offering a unique experience for families.
Commissioners also explored the possibility of collaborating with local organizations for Halloween festivities, acknowledging the saturation of trunk-or-treat events in the area. The discussion included the idea of a chili cook-off, which could be organized at the VFW hall, tapping into the community's interest in seasonal gatherings.
Additionally, the meeting touched on the revival of sports programs, with plans to reintroduce Skyhawks sports activities in the fall after mixed results in previous seasons. The commissioners expressed a desire to expand recreational offerings, including a disc golf tournament at Stephens Park, which could attract participants and promote outdoor activities.
The conversation also included suggestions for regular monthly events, such as \"Games on the Green,\" to encourage community participation throughout the warmer months. The idea of re-establishing an ice rink at Stephens Park was also proposed, with officials recalling its popularity in the past.
Overall, the meeting underscored a commitment to enhancing community engagement through diverse recreational programs and events, with plans to further develop these ideas in the coming months.
