About the Event

We are excited to host our third-annual Hydro One Lines Rodeo! Journeypersons and Apprentices from across the province are invited to showcase their skills in a safe, fun and competitive environment in hopes of bringing people together to promote camaraderie and trade pride.

Children’s activities, food trucks, industry equipment and exhibitor demonstrations will be on site throughout the day to enhance this family-friendly event.

About the Charity

This year, the Hydro One Kleinburg Training Centre will be fundraising for Scouts Canada's No One Left Behind program.

In 2007, Scouts Canada announced the No One Left Behind program in an effort to ensure that every youth is provided with the opportunity to experience new adventures with a local Scouts Canada program. Through No One Left Behind, membership fees and related costs are subsidized for youth from families facing economic barriers.

No One Left Behind has grown considerably since its implementation. The program was expanded in 2011, to include the funding of uniforms, outdoor equipment and camping experiences, through the Participation Grants. No One Left Behind continues to offer Membership Grants to youth across Canada and we are pleased to state that last year alone, Scouts Canada funded over $500K worth of NOLB subsidies.

All donations will go directly to Scouts Canada.

Please help us reach our fundraising goal! Make a donation online or mail a cheque payable to "Scouts Canada" to:
