WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MARCH...
 Along with the Easter Bunny this month comes March break so we will no doubt be looking for activities to keep the small people busy! Check out the Wild at Art Festival in Squamish, RMOW spring camps, some great theatre, plus other great goings on highlighted below.
Stay tuned as we progress towards the holidays for updates on Easter fun in the corridor, and make sure to hide some of that chocolate for yourselves : )
As always, it's a good idea to call to confirm events as times and dates may change.
