Dear Canimites,

Goodbye winter – the Canim Lake ice disappeared overnight and loons settled in the next day.

Waves of yellow-rumped warblers and kinglets arrived on the sunny slopes, and frogs now sing a night-time chorus at the mouth of Bridge Creek. Halleluiah spring!

Community club

The Canim Lake Community Club held its AGM recently.

The executive has remained the same – president Margo Wagner, vice-president Dolores Angell, secretary Bev McGregor and treasurer Sheila Hart, with directors Jean Reynolds, Louise Traill, Marga Hausmann and Lynne Baker.

The 23 colourful lap quilts and afghans, which members of the club have knitted for Fischer Place, were on display. These will be presented by Leona Hurrell and Yvette Stark.

The Planter, Bake and Craft Sale will take place on May 31 at the Canim Lake Store. Local artists and crafters are invited to set up a table or booth to show and sell their work. There will be a $10/table charge.

Plans are underway to make this the biggest and best sale yet, with an inexhaustible supply of beef-on-a-bun, coffee and goodies.

People news

• Hisako Arai and Gordon Kellett have been coaching four students at the Forest Grove Community School in speech arts.

• The young people have been extraordinarily successful in the Festival of the Arts, which is taking place as I write, by winning many of their categories. Elizabeth Haretzmuller will compete in two piano categories this coming weekend.

• Some people hungry for a fresh pie from Granny Grace have driven out from the 108 just to buy one at the Canim Lake Store – good choice!

• Terry and Shannon Wagner are having fun using the voice-activated controls of their new car. Shannon says the computer, with its female voice, has been dubbed “Sally.”

“She had a bit of attitude at first,” says Shannon. “But, we’ve managed to come to an understanding.”

That’s all for now. Until next time, here’s wishing you many blessings.
