The cost to non-members is $10 per child aged 2 years and older. Any questions regarding Fun Passes, please email social@riversidesouth.org. Fun Passes can be purchased in advance - Don’t want to line for tickets on the day? Then get your Fun pass bracelets in advance between 8 and noon on Saturday, June 23rd at Moncion’s Independent Grocer. RSCA Memberships can also be renewed or purchased at this time.
Entertainment this year will be provided by local petting zoo, The Barnyard Zoo, who will entertain everyone with 2 pens for large and small animals, complete with information on the animals to educate and thrill all! In addition, there will be numerous rides and games by Tribeck Inflatables for all to enjoy! We also hope the Fire truck won’t be busy and will pay us a visit at some point during the day. BBQ: What would Canada Day be without a BBQ! Food donated courtesy of Moncion’s Independent Grocer and operated by volunteers. The BBQ will be operational from 11:00am to 2:00pm.

There will also be balloons and free cotton candy courtesy of The Gathering, so be sure to come out and satisfy your sweet tooth! RSCA MEMBERSHIP: It's a perfect time to renew your RSCA Membership!
