WHAT'S HAPPENING IN APRIL...

Spring has sprung, the grass is starting to poke out here and there and hopefully the rains will hold off for awhile. Still some great skiing to be had plus lots of great festivals this month. The Telus Ski & Snowboard has lots for everyone including the great WAG dog parade, Libration at the library, plus some great fundraising events.

As always, it's a good idea to call to confirm events as times and dates may change.
