The Flare N' Derrick community center in Turner Valley will be filled by the different organization from around the Foothills on Tuesday night.

The groups will be taking part in the town's Joint Registration night.

Community Events Coordinator for the Town of Turner Valley Hazal Martin says that the event is like a one-stop shop for registering for extracurricular activities.

"Sports teams, recreation groups, arts and crafts clubs, along with music teachers and volunteer organizations. That's just some of what will be there this year, so it is a wide variety of things that families can register for."

Adding that the night is also good for the organizations, because it allows them to interact with the community.

"It gives a chance to these groups to share information with the public, and even get people talking about upcoming courses," Martin says.

While most people will think that the night is just about finding activities for the kids to do as extracurricular, there is also different organizations there for the parents as well.

"Parents can register their children, and also take a look at the various groups and activities offers for adults as well," Martin says.

Martin says there are 24 organizations that are partaking in the night, the most there has ever been.

The event runs from 7 pm to 9 pm, and Martin hopes that everyone will come out and take a look at the different opportunities that are offered in the Foothills.
