About 150 newcomers to Canada are expected out to the fifth annual Canadian Summer Sports Day at Eastview Estates Park on Friday.
Central Alberta Refugee Effort hosts the event to introduce people who are new to the country to some local summer sports and recreational activities available that can help them become more active in the community.
Children, youth and their families will have chance to play slo-pitch, volleyball, tennis, basketball, football, disc golf and lawn games with the help of volunteers.
Sports activities will run from 1 to 5 p.m. followed by a barbecue supper for all participants and volunteers.
