Summer Social

The Sakinaw Lake Ski and Board Club annual social barbeque date and location has been set!
It will be held Sunday, July 1st, starting at 5 pm, rain or shine (hopefully the latter). The Saunders and Camerons are co-hosting the event.

Since it will be Canada Day, the theme will be … (drumroll please) … you guessed it: A Canadian theme! Anything else would be just so un-patriotic . Whether you fancy red + white, hockey, beer, outdoors, etc., it’s easy and all good. So come celebrate with us and show off your best nationalistic pride.

SLSBC will supply the hamburgers, hot dogs, pop and water. BYOB and also please bring either an appetizer, salad or dessert.

Please RSVP to info@slsbc.ca with the number of people in your party before June 26th so that we can plan accordingly. Thank you.

We look forward to seeing you!
