9th Annual Alberta Camaro Cruise (Father's Day Cruise)

The 9th Annual Alberta Camaro Cruise (Father's Day Cruise) will be held on June 16, 2018!

What is it?
This is the 9th Annual Alberta Camaro Cruise (Father's Day Cruise) leaving from Edmonton and Calgary, driving to Red Deer, and on to Rocky Mountain House, with a few stops for pictures along the way!
This event has grown each and every year with around 70 camaros (and friends) arriving at Edwards Garage in Rocky Mountain House for lunch each year!

Facebook Event
The Western Canada Camaro Club has additional information about this event in our Facebook group!
Please find the group here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/west...adacamaroclub/

Additionally, there is a Facebook event created for this cruise!
Please find that event here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2024325824501899/


As some of you may know, each year this cruise alternates between Banff and Jasper as the destination.
This year we have changed it to David Thompson Resort for several reasons:
• Hotel availability in Jasper and Banff is basically none, especially for a group our size
• Hotel costs in Jasper are very high due to our dollar and American tourists


Those that want to continue on to Jasper (or Hinton), or Banff anyway, are more than welcome to. Please make your own arrangements.
Some may also want to check out the Columbia Icefields and/or Glacier Skywalk.


Edmonton and area Camaros Edmonton and area Camaros will be meeting at Gateway Park Information Center, just south of Ellerslie Road SW, off of Highway 2 (Calgary Trail) at 7:30AM, leaving Edmonton at 8:20AM.

Rocky Mountain House stop and lunch
The Chevrolet dealership in Rocky Mountain House, Edwards Garage, www.edwardsgarage.com, will once again be hosting a lunch for our group! Just like last year, the dealership has elected to work with the local Boys and Girls club to cook! Lunch will cost you a (minimum) $5 donation per person to the Rocky Mountain House Boys and Girls club. A great cause and worthy of our support based on all that Edwards Garage has done for us over the past few years!
