Edmonton Area Council Family Barbecue
Beautiful sunny skies and warm temperatures greeted more than 400 members and their families June 24 at the Edmonton Area Council’s Annual Family Picnic held at BBQ Acres in Edmonton. Participants and their children were treated to jumpy toys, games and prizes, a petting zoo and terrific food (can’t forget that tasty cotton candy!) and fun. AUPE Vice-President Brad Smith and the union’s Executive Secretary-Treasurer Bill Dechant helped pull off the event, as did a long list of EAC members and AUPE staff members. The picnic ran from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday.
