Rodeo of Smiles

Smiles for Children with Special Needs

Special needs children from the Black Gold Regional School Division of Leduc and surrounding areas, receive a personal invitation to attend a day at the rodeo organized specially for them.

Rodeo of Smiles features a petting zoo, mascots, games, face painting and so much more.

The Rodeo of Smiles would not be possible without your generous support.

This event is sponsored by community businesses and volunteers.

'One of the student's mother's cried when her child got to ride a real horse, he has multiple handicaps and would have never had this opportunity if not for the Rodeo of Smiles'

'So thanks to you Tonya, the sponsors and all the volunteers.'

- Holly McEachren, Special Ed Co-ordinator

'There are so many experiences for these children that they wouldn't get otherwise. It is a great opportunity to have a special reward for some of our special students who work so hard & have to struggle with so many academic and social situations during the year. Many of these students would never have had an opportunity to be on a horse, pet a rabbit, go on a carnival ride. This experience is so full of lessons and opportunities to have hands-on experience with things they may just read about. They get to know a little more about the world when they are part of the Rodeo of Smiles. Thank you Tonya for all your hard work.'

- Crystal Fandarick, Calmar Elementary
