The Frontline Invitational – Sylvan Lake Golf and Country Club
The 1st Annual Frontline Invitational was created with one goal in mind: to rally behind those who spend their careers running toward crisis while carrying the unseen weight of trauma, loss, and stress.
Hosted by the Nova Chemicals Emergency Services Team, this event brings together frontline workers, civilians, and community partners to support the mental wellness and resilience of those who serve — and the families who stand with them.
Taking place on September 5, 2025, at the Sylvan Lake Golf & Country Club, this 4- person scramble tournament blends community, camaraderie, and purpose. It’s a chance to connect beyond the uniform and to play, laugh, and raise critical funds that will make a lasting impact.
Proceeds from the tournament benefit Legacy Place Society and Project All In, two Alberta-based non-profits working directly with First Responders, Military, and Frontline Professionals across the province.

First Watch Rodeo: Alberta’s First Responders Take the Arena for a Cause
Date: July 12, 2025
Location: St.Albert Rodeo Grounds
Website: https://firstwatchrodeo.ca
Grab your boots and bring the whole family—the First Watch Rodeo is back, and it’s more than just a wild ride. Hosted in the heart of Alberta, this one-of-a-kind First Responder Rodeo brings together Fire, EMS, Police, and Military personnel for a day of adrenaline, unity, and community impact.
What Is the First Watch Rodeo?
Founded in 2017, the First Watch Rodeo (formerly known as the Edmonton First Responders Rodeo) was built on a shared vision: to create a family-friendly rodeo where frontline heroes could showcase their skills, bond beyond the badge, and raise critical funds for mental health and child advocacy organizations. Since its inaugural ride in 2018, the event has become a staple in Alberta’s rodeo calendar, blending cowboy tradition with community compassion.
Competing for a Cause
This isn’t just about eight seconds on a bull—it’s about making real change.
Proceeds from the rodeo directly support:
-
Legacy Place Society, providing confidential housing, peer support, and mental health education for Alberta’s First Responders, Veterans, and Military families.
-
The Zebra Child & Youth Advocacy Centre, offering a path to justice and healing for children and youth affected by abuse and trauma.
By attending or sponsoring the event, you’re helping write two big, meaningful cheques for these vital causes—every boot stomp and barrel run makes a difference.
Family Fun, Food & Entertainment
Whether you’re cheering from the stands or trying your hand at one of our interactive booths, there’s something for everyone at the First Watch Rodeo:
-
Live rodeo events featuring First Responders as competitors
-
Food trucks and vendor village

Family activities and kids’ games
