In recognition of its 60th anniversary, West Fraser is hosting a barbecue and community celebration in 100 Mile House on Sept. 13.
The event in Centennial Park is free and open to the general public. It will see performances by the Cariboo Idols, music by Rob Fry and MC Larry Rhode, as well as fun activities, including a giant foosball table, survivor challenge and washer toss games.
There will also be plenty of activities for children, including two bouncy castles, a giant water slip-and-slide, face-painting, relay races, cotton candy and more.
West Fraser will also have information booths regarding its operations.
“West Fraser’s contribution to community life and economic stability is through the shared commitment of our staff, their families, our contractors, partners and community,” reads a press release from the forestry company, which operates 100 Mile Lumber.
“Our 60th anniversary celebration is to thank them for bringing success to the future of our community and our company.”
The event goes from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
