District XI Report - 2009/08

SPRING has finally come to the Northwest! An unusually bad winter for those of us in the region is over.

I attended the Shuswap Spring Float Fly at Sandy Point Campground in Salmon Arm, British Columbia. This was the 33rd year for British Columbia’s longest-running float fly, held on one of the best lakes in the province. Hosted by the Grindrod Air Force Society, the event ran from Saturday, May 30 through Sunday, June 7. Retrieval boat “Rescue 1” was available all nine days. This event is one of the highlights of my year and a sure sign that spring has finally come!

Please send me reports and pictures of events in our district for inclusion in this column. I want to share with others in the district what clubs are doing across the district. This is your chance to showcase your club!

Until next time …
