Dear Canimites, The three-day snow we wrestled after New Year’s Eve dumped more precipitation than old-timers can remember receiving in such a short period – 24 inches at Mahood, 17 inches plus rain at Canim. Oblivious to the trials of those replacing broken snowblower belts, plucky Buffleheads and Golden-eyes splash and cavort along the ice-free shoreline of Canim, while regal swans cruise by disdainful of the fun. Annual event Ross Bennet set in
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO ATTENDED OUR Starry Starry Nights LIGHT UP The Stars will be burning bright until January 2015

the curling sheet on the ice of Hawkins Lake with the deft use of a king’s ransom in food colouring for the annual Hawkins Lake Pine Beetle Bonspeedle. Some 24 neighbours gathered to do battle in the epic “reds versus yellows” match that has marked New Year’s Day for the last seven years. The boisterous crowd
cheered and hooted their way through the game, fuelled by a halftime chow-down of pea soup, chili, a lot of baking and wine of every temperature. Logs rolling Logging trucks are coming out Canim Hendrix Road from the 610, 6300 and the 7000 roads.
Many are going to 100 Mile House, but some trucks are turning back east, travelling as far as Vavenby on Highway 5 via the South Canim, Bower’s Lake and #2 roads. Best do yourself and the truckers a favour by using your radio on the new frequencies to call your location when travelling these roads.
