BONNYVILLE - A Halloween-themed community party was a spooktacular way to introduce the Bonnyville and area community to the new Federation Group Climbing Wall at the Bonnyville and District Centennial Centre (C2).
The Saturday event had a free barbecue, bouncy houses and rock climbing from 2-6 p.m.
Federation Construction, a Bonnyville-based company, has been sponsoring lacrosse and hockey teams as a way to give back to the community for years. But, for Federation's 10 year anniversary they wanted to do something even bigger for the community, said Jordan Costley, director of projects for Federation Construction.
"When the opportunity came up to sponsor the C2's climbing wall and to remove barriers for people to use it, it was an easy decision," Costley said. "Opening up more free activities for kids and adults to be active all year round, that's what we want to be a part of."
The Federation Group Climbing Wall will be free of charge to all community members during Open Climb Time. The sponsorship from Federation will also remove the cost of harness fees for all climbers using the wall.
Federation will be the naming sponsor for the climbing wall for the next five years.
