The emphasis of the Fun Day at Cadieux Park will be to promote healthy lifestyles. Participating organizations include the RoadRunners Track and Field Club, Hawkesbury Junior A Hawks Hockey Club, Eastern Prescott Russell Minor Hockey Association – Fusion, Pro17 Soccer League, Communaute francophone accueillante, Hawkesbury Islamic Cultural Centre (CCIH-HICC), COMZAK-BIA, Association canadienne-française de l’Ontario (ACFO), Conseil scolaire de district catholique de l’Est ontarien (CSDCEO), Hawkesbury Optimist Club, Hawkesbury Public Library Service, Hawkesbury Recreation and Parks Department, and the Hawkesbury Fire Department.
