On July 20th, in partnership with the Sherwood Park RCMP, 2461 members hosted the kids from the Camp Sunrise - Kids Cancer Camp. The kids, who are always very excited to visit the firehall, got to see the fire trucks and squad cars, meet a police dog, spray water from a fire hose, watch a Tower Truck demo, and eat a firehall meal. The Fire Fighters always love when these wonderful children come to visit. See you again next year!

Despite having poor weather members of the SCFD 2011 Recruit Class raised over $2,200 at a car wash and barbecue on June 25 in support of Muscular Dystrophy Canada. Thanks to everyone who participated and to Safeway for donating the food.

On May 27th twelve members from 2461 had the opportunity to cook breakfast for the Relay For Life participants in Strathcona County. Participants walked all night raising funds and awareness for women lost to Breast Cancer. They were understandable hungry in the morning and got a nice breakfast of pancakes and sausages cooked by the firefighter's who came to lend a hand to this great cause.
