| The 35th Annual Festival of Pins will be held on Saturday and Sunday, August 23rd and 24th. It will be held at the Calgary Centennial Branch #285 Legion at 9202 Horton Road SW, T2V 2X4.
We are happy to announce that this year's theme celebrates the 50th anniversary of the beaver being recognized as an official symbol of Canada! A longstanding Canadian icon, the beaver has been featured on postage stamps, coinage, paintings, and traditional First Nations carvings. For more information, please see the following link to the Government of Canada's website.
