Events
Our favourite part of events is that they bring people together. We unify our energy, build off of one another, and together make a difference for our community.
Check back often to see what’s happening in our community.
DV 100
The DV100 Race or Ride is an event unlike any other! As an annual fundraiser for DVCF, it brings over 400 participants to Drayton Valley.
As a world-class bike race and ride, the event showcases beautiful Drayton Valley and the landscape surrounding us. The route is for both racers and riders, with multiple kilometre events, plus the wind up evening event that is epically fun and open to everyone.
The DV100 is postponed for 2024 but the DV100 Committee is hopeful to have it back up and running for 2025. Visit www.dv100.ca for more up to date details.

Tree Planting
Putting our Environmental Fund into Action
Each year, at the beginning of June, grade four classes spend 3-4 days planting over 800 trees. These trees are planted in areas where vegetation is needed or where we need to rebuild due to fires. We are able to do this amazing work because of our Environmental Fund. This fund aims to grow and support our community’s environmental sector. With the help of the Edmonton Community Foundation and Weyerhaeuser Pembina Timberlands, we have started a tree planting program with Aurora Elementary School. Our fund goes hand in hand with the grade 4 curriculum and allows the students to get hands-on experience. As our Environmental Fund grows we hope to expand our prgram to include other schools in the Drayton Valley/ Brazeau County Area.

Community Foundation Dinners
Since January 2020, DVCF has been hosting Community Dinners. In 2021, we hosted our first Community Dinner on Main Street. It was a huge success, bringing out thousands instead of the usual hundreds we got at our dinners. From there, our Community Dinners have expanded into the street parties they are today. Check the Small Town Big Life Foundation website for up-to-date information on this year’s street party.
