GIROUX HERITAGE PARK GRAND OPENING

We are proud to carry on the work started by dedicated community members in creating and maintaining this park for all to enjoy for years to come.

As the Giroux Heritage Park is located around the Giroux Fire Hall, this celebration also recognized and honoured the Adams, Hornan, and Plett families, representing the first volunteers who were instrumental in establishing this department.

They all served for many years, and sacrificed much for the benefit of Giroux and our surrounding communities. A bench was dedicated to these founding members of the Giroux Fire Department.

This Grand Opening Celebration was well attended by the community. Along with the basketball nets, play structure, swings, and greenspace found in the park, Steinbach and Area Animal Rescue,

Rural Animal Management Animal Rescue, and Splash of Colour Face Painting were also on hand to help entertain everyone. Free hot-dogs, chips, drinks, freezies and cupcakes were enjoyed by all. The Municipality was very proud to bring a bit of magic back to Giroux with the World’s Greatest Escape Artist, Dean Gunnarson. Dean Gunnarson was a friend of local magician Philip Hornan who was the inspiration behind Philip’s Magical Museum which helped share Philip’s love of magic with others for many years. This museum has since closed, and so we were all delighted to be entertained by someone with such a personal connection to Giroux’s magical history.

The Municipality would like to give a personal thanks to everyone who helped make this happen, past and present.
