On Saturday, May 1, 2010, 27 teams participated in the first annual Trek to Tomorrow, an awareness event for the Heritage Community. Despite the wind, snow and rain, everyone had a great afternoon that saw the Trekkers race through the neighbourhood to find locations based on clues. Everyone arrived back to the Regina Inn for an evening of food, entertainment and prizes. The banquet hall was filled to capacity; the crowd was delighted by FaDa Dance, a contemporary dance company housed in the Heritage neighbourhood. Former Mayor of Regina, Larry Schneider, shared stories of his childhood in the area, once known as "Germantown."
The volunteers cannot be thanked enough for sticking to their checkpoints along the route for over 2 hours in the cold weather of May Day.
The event was a groundbreaking endeavour for the community. Organizers hoped to put Heritage on the map in a positive way, and from all accounts, that goal was certainly accomplished. Heritage hopes to see even more teams out next year, with thoughts and schemes already in the works for Trek to Tomorrow 2.
Thank you all!
