One of the activities being supported under the "Empowering Family Health" project is the establishment of "Country Clubs" throughout the North Cariboo. The intent of these clubs is to provide an opportunity for families and other community members to come together and participate in activities which are focused on growing and preparing food and agricultural practices, learning, being active, and having fun. Each club will have their own focus and /or flavour.
The Bouchie Lake Country Club (formerly Bouchie Lake Country Kids Club) was the first club to be established. It met for the first time at the Bouchie Lake Country Store on Sunday, June 5th for a "Seed Planting Day - Growing for the Harvest Festival". Pallet signs were painted, seeds planted and some plants transplanted. The club has since met 2 times more - a farrier demonstration with local farrier, Casey Whittit and a Farm Tour at Moose Meadows Farm. Our next event is Critter Dipping with Baker Creek Enhancement Society on Milburn Lake on July 22, 2016. Families, adults, seniors and, in fact, everyone is invited to get involved.
Please check out the Event Listing on Facebook under the "Bouchie Lake Kids Club" Facebook page for additional information. A calendar of events is posted below.
Please note:
1. Parental involvement is mandatory. All children in attendance must be accompanied by an adult and be supervised at all times.
2. Please bring a snack and drink for your child(ren).
3. The success of the Bouchie Lake Country Kids Club is based upon parental involvement and support.
