It is that bittersweet time of year – the trees change colour and Fort Saskatchewan’s beloved turf-trimming sheep prepare for their journey home. Join us at the Sheep Leaving Parade to bid our woolly friends farewell.

In order to make this a safe and fun experience for everyone, including the sheep, please take note of the following attendee expectations:

  • Follow instructions from the handlers, event staff, and volunteers.
  • Avoid sudden movements, loud noises, or actions that may startle the flock.
  • Stay behind the sheep.
  • Avoid running and chasing the sheep.
  • Be aware of uneven ground and animal waste.
  • Dogs are allowed as long as they stay leashed at all times.
  • Photography is welcome, but do not obstruct the participants or animals along the route. You can share photos online by tagging us @CityFortSask
  • Dispose of any unused carrots into the provided organics bins.
  • Dress for the weather. The parade is rain or shine unless severe weather is imminent.
  • Be courteous to fellow attendees, participants, and local residents.
