The Bowen Island Community Recreation Canada Day Celebration is a great way for families and people of all ages to kick off summer. The party gets started at 12:00pm sharp on Tuesday July 1 at the Crippen Park Festival Field with Bowen’s own Shari Ulrich singing Oh Canada. The Adam Woodall Band will continue with the entertainment throughout the afternoon and have you on your feet dancing in between rounds of bocce, croquet, badminton, and family relays. Treat yourself to the concession provided by Alderwood Farm or bring a family picnic before you sample a slice of Canada Day cake supplied by Glen Cormier from the Bowen Island Pub. Let the beautiful surroundings unleash your artistic side and help us launch our first Community Art Project. A large canvas has been donated by 4 Cats Art Studio, thanks to Rebecca Smith, and we will be encouraging everyone to participate in the painting of our masterpiece. There will be a place for the young ones to play, crafts, tattoos and face painting and before you know it the time will come for the traditional tug of war followed by everyone’s favourite hose down by the local Volunteer Fire Department. Be sure to come out to Crippen Park between 12-3pm on July 1! It will be a great way to start off Summer 2014!
