Tire
Sure La Neige -- Yum!
Merci Beaucoup Tout Le Monde!
A somewhat belated Thank You to all
of you who attended our Carnival d'hiver et Cabane a Sucre at Onion Lake on
March 4, jointly hosted with CPF Kitimat. As many as 200 people joined us for a
fun filled afternoon of cross country skiing, snow shoe races, snow fort
building, sledding, French music, and the delicious tire sur la neige -- maple
syrup on snow -- provided by our Kitimat counterparts.
Bonhomme made an appearance, hungry
tummies were filled at the canteen, and those who felt the chill warmed up at
the fire pit. The Snow Valley Nordic Ski Club was delighted to introduce many
of you to its facilities and we were able to showcase the work of CPF to the
club's members and others out for a ski.
A special thank you from CPF Terrace
to our event coordinator, Carolyn DeFreitas. Other key volunteers from Terrace
included Julie and Dag Livgard, Corina Cleveland, Stella and Scott Peden, Nita
Back and Trish Francoeur, Flo Sheppard, Madeleine Link and Ella Martindale,
Bart DeFreitas and many others...we are so sorry if we have inadvertently left
out your name. Merci Suzanne Dorais for the fantastic French music!
The winner of our Maple Syrup Basket
Door Prize was the Peasgood family. Congratulations! Congratulations also to
those kids who completed their "Maple Passport" and entered our other
draws.
We enjoyed working with the Kitimat CPF Branch very much, and look forward to
making this event happen again next year!
CPF Terrace also gratefully
acknowledges the support of the BC Gaming Branch which helped make this event
possible.
