Event Calendar

Free drop-in play program for families with children under 6.

To honour the fun side of Mitch Maclean and Tanner Craswell, the Lethbridge Bulls are putting on the TCMM Memorial Kids Baseball Camp. Kids ages 4-14 are invited to join the Lethbridge Bulls on the field to learn some new skills and have fun doing so! Whether your child is just starting out or already a baseball pro, this camp is perfect for all skill levels. Our mission is to keep kids active and engaged over the summer while they have a blast playing baseball while learning valuable baseball and life skills.

It's baseball with a twist, or a peel, or something a little different to hit the Spitz Stadium field once again to honor the memories of two young men who lost their lives way too early in a senseless tragedy in 2011.

TCMM is short for Tanner Craswell and Mitch Maclean who both played baseball for the Lethbridge Bulls and  the Prairie Baseball Academy before their passing. Every year the Bulls have a memorial game so these two young men are never forgotten in the Southern Alberta Baseball community.

In 2025 The TCMM Memorial Game peeled (get it) off into a different direction into a "Banana Ball" type of event with different rules, music and interviews throughout the game and we even had a banana cream pie eating contest.

This years TCMM Memorial Game is adding another element and is going to "peel" the players from the Bulls,the PBA, Vauxhall Jets and alumni from all teams and our sponsors into a great big cluster for a draft that will add a little extra to what is already a fun event for baseball and non-baseball fans alike.

Free drop-in play program for families with children under 6.

NEW DATE – Join us on May 27th for our first Foster & PAACT Information Night!

PAACT – Pet & Animal Advocacy Care Team is a volunteer-run, community-based nonprofit organization serving southern Alberta. Unlike a traditional shelter or rescue facility, PAACT focuses on early intervention, crisis support, and practical assistance aimed at helping pets remain safely with the people who love them whenever possible.

Have you ever wondered what fostering really looks like, or how community-based animal advocacy works beyond traditional rescue models?

Join us for a Foster & PAACT Information Night designed to offer clarity, transparency, and honest conversation about how we support pets and their people across Southern Alberta.

Consider bringing an optional entry donation for our free community Care Closet (pet food, litter, or cash donations) to help continue supporting animals in need—or simply attend for free.

Fostering can feel overwhelming at first, but many common concerns are more manageable than they seem. Worries about cost, property damage, housing, or flexibility are valid, which is why PAACT provides supplies, guidance, thoughtful matching, and ongoing support every step of the way. Many placements are also short-term and designed to fit real life.

At PAACT, we offer foster opportunities ranging from emergency placements lasting only a few days to longer-term care when needed. Our goal is always to protect the human–animal bond by giving animals a safe, loving home environment during difficult times while prioritizing return-to-owner whenever safely possible.

Fosters are never expected to take on financial burdens, handle crises alone, or work beyond agreed boundaries. You will receive clear care plans, communication, advocacy support, and a team with a wide range of diverse experience standing beside you.

When you foster, you are doing more than opening your home. You may be the reason someone does not have to face the heartbreak of surrendering their beloved animal. You may be the safe place an animal desperately needed. You may be the bridge between crisis and hope.

May 27th at 6:00 PM (Doors open at 5:30 PM)
Sandman Signature Lethbridge Lodge – Poplar Room 2 (Parking is available at the rear of the hotel.)

During this session, we will cover:
• Who PAACT is and why our model focuses on early intervention and keeping pets at home whenever possible
• Our foster programs, including emergency, temporary, and longer-term placements
• What supports fosters receive, and what expectations and boundaries look like
• Volunteer and community advocacy opportunities beyond fostering
• How our Care Closet, rehoming support, and crisis programs work together to help prevent unnecessary surrender

This is a pressure-free, informational session. Attending does not commit you to fostering or volunteering. Our goal is to ensure anyone interested has the knowledge they need to make an informed, compassionate decision.

Questions are encouraged, curiosity is welcome, and community connection is at the heart of it all.
