SOCIAL EVENTS
Upcoming Events for 2008:
Over the
years our events have continued to change.
Unfortunately, the annual family picnic and
fishing derby held at Sunny Shores for many
years is no longer held each summer due to
participation decline. This year in 2008,
we are holding a NEW SUMMER EVENT on
the weekend of JULY 25th and 26th in COURTENAY at
BATES BEACH.
Contact Bates Beach Oceanfront Resort to
book your reservations: 250-334-4154 or

Entertainment Committee:
The
Entertainment committee has been around
since the early 1900's. There are pictures
hanging in our Union Hall of picnics held at
Goldstream and in Shawnigan Lake in the
early days. Over the years the events have
changed but the volunteer participation has
remained.
None of these
events could ever be successful if were not
for the volunteers of the Union to
make it happen. We also get great help
from our wives who volunteer
their time to make these functions
successful.
