It was a beautiful night for families to come together for the annual Access Credit Union (Access) Movie in the Park night in the Morden Park Bowl. It's been a long-standing tradition in the final days of August for Access staff to host this evening filled with fun activities, entertainment, and community connection.
Community and engagement coordinator for Access Credit Union, Jillian Jones, was pleased that the warm weather and cool breeze made for a great atmosphere for people to put out their blankets and lawn chairs in preparation for the evening's main feature movie, Moana 2.
She described what she saw throughout the night, "Tons of smiles, lots of laughter. So many beautiful painted faces. It's a real community that's come together tonight and it's so awesome to see everybody out and enjoying something together."

Access Credit Union has partnered with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers, so football fans were able to get their pictures taken with the Grey Cup, sign their name on the banner that will be featured at the 112th Grey Cup game on November 16th in Winnipeg. There were other fun games for attendees to enjoy before the group photo was taken, and Island Breeze, a musical group featuring music from the South Pacific Islands, entertained the crowd with dancing to live music, complete with authentic, cultural outfits.
Access staff provided complimentary popcorn and drinks for attendees. Jones explained why.
"We're just really grateful to have the support and for people to come out to these events because without our communities, we wouldn't be able to host them."
