In 2005, your Board began a program to sponsor young and older individuals as well as youth groups seeking to participate in sanctioned leadership development opportunities. Since that time, your Board has provided nearly $10,000 to groups such as the Beaumont Air Cadets, Looma Lights 4-H Light Horse Club, Clearwater Valley Pony Club, Beaumont Community Youth Centre (now the Centre Chantal Bérubé Community Youth Centre) and Alberta North Region Pony Clubs along with 13 deserving young people. Applicants have participated in events at local, district, regional, provincial, national and international venues. What a future we have with such dedicated, motivated and talented people in our District, eh?

Visit our Promotional Opportunities page for our request form and further information.

Each year, BADAS participates in three major events. They are: Beaumont Clinic and Derby (late May); Beaumont Town and Country Daze Parade (mid-June); and, the Rural Roots Fair (RRF, late August). These events are a lot of fun, make life a lot more interesting in our District and help raise funds and awareness for further development of the BADAS Fairground. Please visit our Coming Soon page for information on the latest BADAS Active Volunteer Request and the simple 3-step process to sign-up. We celebrate and thank our volunteers for their contributions each year at our Annual Annual General Meeting (AGM) in early January with a catered meal and featured speaker. We wouldn't be here without our volunteers!
