FAMILY PROFILE

Urness Reunion 2025

The Urness reunion will take place at Leslie and Lisa Urness' farm near Valleyview, Alberta for three days starting on August 1st. There is plenty of room for RV's (no hookups) and tents if you so choose to stay at their place. Please specify if you will be bringing an RV or tent so we can plan space accordingly. There is a small in-ground pool and hot tub so please bring your swim gear. The driveway and yard is paved, and all buildings are wheel chair accessible.

 

This is an all weather event. There will be large tents set up in case of rain, and to provide shade.

 

Everyone is free to arrive anytime before the event, but if you come early you might be put to work ;) There is no rush to leave after the reunion so please feel free to stay at the Urness' farm as long as you like; Les and Lisa love company.

 

A block of hotel rooms at the Paradise Inn located in Valleyview early in the new year. An update will be provided when hotels are ready for booking.

 

Vallevview Riverside Golf Course is located just 2.7km down Township Road 693A. If you like to golf and have clubs, please bring them. The golf course also has RV and tent camping with hookups. There's also Sturgeon lake which has two campgrounds and decent fishing. If you have a boat, there is enough room to park it at Les and Lisa's place.
