Yesterday the Calgary pride parade had the most parade participants despite being an on & off rain. I looked out for safety at the front side of the Forever Canadian Unity bus. We had many volunteers participating. Perfect location to see the spectators greet us &our mascots @lukaszukab.bsky.social

1/2 It's been a heck of a ride so far these last 2.5 months being the southern Alberta sign coordinator for Forever Canadian. Yesterday was a gift to see the deep appreciation from so many people in southern Alberta while I spent a day on tour with Thomas and the Unity bus.

One of the nice things about being the Southern Alberta Sign Coordinator for Forever Canadian is I can come to the office and get a boost of feeling Canadian at any time. This evening I admire a piece of new swag. Don't miss the 2nd photo... #ForeverCanadian

When you're Forever Canadian teammates take their jobs seriously they show up to get lawn signs for pop-ups and to deliver to neighboring and deep south Alberta communities.

Just like that by tomorrow morning Forever Canadian will have delivered 2,600 signs in southern Alberta with only 400 remaining for Lilac Festival. More are on order. The almost 2,000 people who came to our sign distribution event in Calgary were so appreciative. #ForeverCanadian

There were a LOT of people out at the #Calgary rally to support teachers and public education. Someone said -"This is significantly more people than was at the Premier's breakfast."
