Tuesday Ladies Golf Night is all about fun. Oh sure, we golf. We hit the ball. We putt. Some folks win prizes. We dine on the great food served up by the clubhouse. The thing that is most important is…we have fun. But once each summer we are serious. Last Tuesday, Aug. 22, was our annual Golf for Cancer fundraiser. Many have dealt with the horrors of cancer – the uncertainty, the pain, the expense, the loss. We set aside one Tuesday night each summer. We collect pledges. We gather prizes.

The North Thompson Recreation Society say they were pleased to work once again with the Kershaw and Feller Families to provide swim lessons in the community. This summer, instructor Hannah Feller offered three separate sessions for families to choose from July 24 through Aug. 25. Participation was strong this year, with 110 children registered in the Red Cross learn to swim and water safety program.

Ladies Night Golf Report from Chinook Cove Golf Resort

The large wood marlin that someone put a lot of work into, and kindly mounted on the dock at Leonie Lake, has been torn down and burned. This is shameful vandalism and the fishing and recreation community who use that area are extremely upset. If you have any information about this senseless vandalism please contact Crimestoppers or the RCMP.
