Did you know that the Drumheller and District Chamber of Commerce has organized and funded the July 1st Parade in Drumheller for over 50 years?

Registration is now open for the 2016 parade. This year's theme is "Drumheller Through the Ages".

*Changes to this year's parade route:
The parade will begin at 10:00 am along Riverside Drive. It will wind its way through the downtown along a slightly modified route for 2016. From Riverside Drive, the parade will make its way west along 3rd Avenue to 1st Street West, where it will turn south. At Railway Avenue, the parade will go east and finish at 2nd Street East. Changes to the route have been implemented to provide the best experience for parade participants and spectators. The revised route is intended to alleviate traffic flow issues, allow parade participants to easily and safely exit the parade route at its completion and improve public access to the Canada Day festivities at the Rotary Spray Park, Memorial Arena and Badlands Community Facility following the parade.

Our next Business After Hours networking event has been scheduled! Join us Wednesday, April 20th from 6-8 pm at Drum Wireless for an opportunity to chat with other members of the business community. Business After Hours is free to attend, we simply ask that you RSVP so we can ensure there is enough food. Drum Wireless will be providing some delicious appies and wine from Sublime!

What is Business After Hours? Social mixers which provide networking opportunities for the business community. While primarily social in nature, Business After Hours is also a great opportunity for businesses to bring people into their places of business and showcase their products, services and facilities. Too often we are not fully aware of everything that our local businesses have to offer. All members of the business community are welcome, large or small, employer or employee.

The DDCC wants your help in selecting the theme for this year's July 1st Parade.

The choices are:

• Drumheller Through the Ages
• Red & White
• Find Your Adventure

Voting closes Friday, April 8. Vote here.
