KAMLOOPS – McQueen Lake Day! Bus transport provided
- 9:30 am - 3:30 pm
We have been invited to join the 50th Anniversary Celebration day for McQueen Lake and all of the NatureKids Families and Guests are welcome to join. We will be leading a pond dipping event for the day.
Please RSVP by Sept 16th to claim a spot. Due to lack on parking at the event site, access to the event will only be by bus. The bus will leave from NorKam Secondary at 10am. There will be a return bus at 12:45 and another at 3pm, so you can stay for a half day or the whole event! If there is an emergency, Sonya and I will have personal vehicles there and can get people back into town, if needed.
RSVP here by Sept 16: http://mcqueenlake.com/s/50RSVP
