Support, remembrance, laughter, smiles, and a sense of community. These can all be found in Carberry at the grounds of the R. J. Waugh Elementary School on May 24, with the return of the Remembering Kalena Green event.
This event first began in 2023 to honour the life of Kalena Green and raise funds for Carberry’s future Splash Park. This overlap was inspired by Kalena’s lifelong dedication to the communities she has lived and worked in, as well as her love for recreation and adventure. In line with this, the event also traditionally includes a 50/50 draw benefitting R. J. Waugh School, as Kalena was a teacher there for a portion of her career. These themes have remained consistent since its inception, while also inviting all who have experienced loss to come out, enjoy the evening,

and remember their own loved ones. The 2025 event is no exception– all who wish to are invited by Kalena’s family to attend the event on May 24 to share memories of Kalena and their
own loved ones, wear their favourite colour and share photos.
Participants are to gather at the R. J. Waugh Elementary School grounds at 3:00 p.m. on May 24, having the option to engage in either a 2km walk or 5km run, with a barbecue to follow. There will be a silver collection on-site, and a 50/50 draw will benefit R. J. Waugh.
Donations for the Splash Park can be accepted onsite that day, by cheque to Town of Carberry, or by e-transfer to town@townofcarberry.ca. Donations should be directed to
“Carberry Splash Park in honour of Kalena Green”.
