Calgary Mourns Beloved Children's Entertainer Ron 'Buck Shot' Barge at Memorial Service

Hundreds gather to celebrate the life and legacy of the iconic TV star who delighted generations of Calgarians.

Ron 'Buck Shot' Barge, creator of 'The Buck Shot Show,' passed away last month just days before his 88th birthday.
The memorial service was held at noon, the same time his show aired for 30 years, at Centre Street Church in Calgary.
'The Buck Shot Show' was one of Canada's longest-running children's programs, airing from 1967 to 1997.
Barge was known for his genuine interactions with children and his ability to create a friendly, engaging atmosphere.
Family, friends, and fans wore Calgary Flames jerseys in his honor, reflecting his lifelong support for the team.
