Spring has sprung!

The weather is gorgeous in the Leduc, Beaumont and Devon areas! Even though we promote outdoor activity throughout the year, we know it can be difficult to get outside in our harsh winter climate. Let's shake the cobwebs off and get moving!

Please take a moment to look through out previous blog posts to see outdoor options for activity throughout Leduc. The interactive Google Map will point the way and has pictures of each location. People tell us this is very helpful to see what a location looks like before going there.

We will add more local locations soon. If you have any suggestions for locations, please email Candra Tinis, LBD PCN Communications Coordinator, here.
