Shopping cart race raises fund for Safe Families Battlefords
On a bright, sunny Saturday morning in North Battleford, people gathered together in Civic Park to race for the 2024 annual second cart race hosted by the Safe Families Canada Battlefords (Safe Families).
“I think, why not the carts? I feel like it is a humble thing that we push around, and we put things we purchase at the store,” said Jessica Garcia-Driedger, chapter director of Safe Families Canada Battlefords. “I just love the versatility of it. “
Discovery Co-op provided around 70 shopping carts for this race.
From toddlers and North Star players to various local business representatives, each did their best to transform a regular shopping cart into a racing car on the track. This was done to raise funds for Safe Families which provides services to families in crisis.
