This year, the Barriere and Area Investors Group Walk For Alzheimer’s event will be happening on May 1.
As usual, it will start with registration at 10 a.m. at the Barriere & District Seniors Hall. The Walk will start at 11 a.m. and is followed by a light lunch, door prizes, silent auction and the raffle.
The raffle prizes have been selected and some really amazing items have been donated.

Third prize is a golfing package for Eaglepoint Golf Resort, donated by Investors Group, Kamloops, and has an estimated value of $200.
Tickets will be available at a variety of places in Barriere, Little Fort and Clearwater. Watch for posters saying “tickets available here”.
