Located on ?Akisq’nuk First Nation, the Columbia Lake Recreation Centre (CLRC) is presenting another Family Fun Day in the fall after their first successful one in July.

“The success [of the recent one] was one of the reasons. People were asking for the next one . . . but we truly want to celebrate the end of summer and the return to school of the kids with a fun, happy event,” said Trisha Clowers, one of the staff at CLRC.

The event will take place on Sept. 3 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. with activities such as bouncy castles, games, face painting and more.

“[We want] families to have fun and enjoy their last weekend before the school craziness starts,” she stated.

The Pioneer asked Clowers how it feels to be supported by the community.

“It was amazing! We wanted everyone to enjoy and have fun and see that happen, which made the behindthe-scenes craziness, mishaps, and stress so very much worth it,” she said.

Clowers and the CLRC team want this event to be a continuous one at the recreation centre.

“We appreciate the support we receive from valley residents and visitors.”
