Snow Removal @ LLJ

Does anyone know of who may be available to provide snow removal services at LLJ? Would be good for some of us seasonal residents to call ahead of time before we head up for a stay.

Please advise if you know of anyone.

Thanks

Trapping Season

Little Bob + Maggie

Trapping season is almost upon us! There are 3 active traplines in the area so you need to pay attention when out with dogs and children.

Unfortunately, we don't know the locations of traplines. Your best guess is to watch for human tracks off of logging roads. If you are aware of trap locations please let us know!

Thanks to Bev Lorimer for the reminder.

Logging Truck Crash

By now most residents will have seen the pile of logs on Lac Le Jeune Road near the community mailboxes. If you're wondering what happened here is the article in the Kamloops Daily News. 

As Bev Lorimer mentioned to reporters, we have witnessed some fast-moving logging trucks in our area. Thankfully, nobody was seriously injured in the accident.

Gym Membership Anyone?

I don't understand why people drive to Kamloops to workout at a gym when we have everything we need right here in our own community. ;-) Do you know where to find this fantastic outdoor facility?

Ski Passes

It's time to buy your Stake Lake ski pass! Early bird registration is in effect until November 13, 2010. You can purchase your pass and pay for lessons online or by regular post. Check the Overlander Ski Club website for details on season trail passes or value punch cards, and programs offered this year.

NEW! There is now lighting on 4 kilometres of the trail around Stake Lake.

Where: The Cassidy’s house - 3808 Pineridge
When: Saturday October 23rd @ 11:00am - 3:00ish
Who: Any ghosts, goblins or family and friends of Lac Le Jeune residents!!

The pumpkin hunt will start at 11:00 and you MUST (must, must we say), drop off your pumpkins on the Friday at the Cassidy’s house. One per child and this will allow us time to hide them. As in previous years, you may not go home with the same pumpkin that you dropped off. Please explain this to your little goblins!

Chris the clown will be arriving for fun times at 12:30!!

We will be grilling up hot dogs (chicken and beef) along with drinks and snacks.

Come out, meet the neighbours, and join in on the fun and games!!

Hope to see you there,
Casey and Karen
