Which Canadian athlete won the Olympic Triathlon in the year 2000 after being involved in a huge bike crash? (Answer on page 7) June 29-July 5, 2017 Fantastic Friday Fireworks Invermere does it right. Friday night, June 30, at one minute after midnight, the Kinsmen Club of Windermere Valley will be putting on a great Fireworks show to celebrate Canada’s birthday. It is always a terrific show that people come from all over to enjoy. They will be launched from the railroad tracks below the arena so they can be seen from almost anywhere on the lake. There will be many boats out there and it is almost part of the show watching them. I usually watch from up by the Inukshuk near the arena with lots of other happy folks. The cemetery area in Windermere or down along Chabot beach are also great spots. Thanks to the Kinsmen for doing this each year. Support them.
