The calendar tells us we have pulled out of the winter months, and it comes to our notice that the days are brighter and the sun a bit warmer as we head towards spring.
Just a short time ago in January we held our Winter in the Woods event with temperatures in the -20’s. Even with temps like that attendees loved it, did you notice the smiles and electricity in the air when everyone joined in singing “Oh Canada” around the rink? What great passion and comradery our community holds. Thank you to everyone who braved the cold that day, to partake, to volunteer, and to share.
We have in our midst two fine gents whom are long term volunteers and have helped shape our great community. We can say “thank you” time and time again, but when our late Queen Elizabeth II felt it was important to honour contributors of their caliber … now that’s something to take notice of. Please join the BCCA in congratulating both Bob Jackson and Dave Rupert on receiving the Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee Medal for Community Building and Volunteerism. Thank you, Bob and Dave, we are lucky to have you.
With March being a long month, demanding our patience as we wait to see some green out there, your BCCA continues to offer great options on a regular basis, like Pickleball on Tuesdays and Rumble & Roar on Thursdays. There’s an Artsy Afternoon that runs Thursday afternoons too. Call or stop in to learn about all the great activities sure to keep you active this month.
