BULLETIN BOARD

FAMILY FUN
Last summer, my husband Alan
and I took our 12-year-old grand-
son Chayton and our daughter
Leanne with us on a camping
trip to British Columbia. We
visited the Ancient Forest/
Chun T’oh Whudujut Park and
Protected Area near McBride,
B.C. The park protects a portion
of the only inland temperate
rainforest in the world! It also
features 1,000-year old western
red cedars. I believe that this is
one of Canada’s best kept secrets.
We then enjoyed a river safari on
Mud Lake—an interesting little
trip. It was very smoky due to the
forest fires but we still got to see
all the beautiful scenery that B.C.
has to offer. The highlight of the

trip was that our campground

in Valemount, B.C., had a creek

running through it, where the

chinook salmon were spawning.

Canada has so much to offer;

who knows where our next trip

will take us?

SHROUDED IN MIST Peggy Linton of Cobourg, Ont.,
writes, “I was walking by the harbour here in Cobourg, and there was
a bit of fog over the water. I snapped a few pictures of the lighthouse,
and captured this one that I thought was pretty nice. I also took one of
the Coast Guard boat heading out into Lake Ontario. Cobourg has one
of the nicest waterfronts in our wonderful country!”

CAN YOU HELP?

“While on holiday in Lethbridge,

Alta., my daughter Trishna found

this charming piece of furniture

in a thrift shop,” writes Elsie

Sinha-Roy of Calgary. “We are

unsure of the original purpose of

this piece and wonder whether

readers can help with the answer.

It measures 32 inches high and

10 inches wide. My daughter will

be using it as a bedside table, as

it is just the right size!” If you can

help Elsie identify the original

use for this piece, submit your

answers to ourcanada.ca.

HAVE YOU HEARD

THE ONE ABOUT

An old guy walked into a bar

and the bartender asked for ID.

“You’ve got to be kidding,” he

said. “I’m almost 60 years old.”

The bartender apologized, but

said he had to see his licence.

The guy showed his ID, paid for

a drink and told the bartender

to keep the change. “The tip’s

for carding me,” he said. The

bartender put the change in

the tip cup. “Thanks,” he said.

“Works every time.”
