On Thursday April 21st, in honour of 'Earth Day', British Columbia Lottery Corporation (BCLC) Green Team in Kamloops joined Boys and Girls Club of Kamloops staff in our McArthur Island 'Adventure Garden'. Volunteers spent the day in rain, hail, wind and sun building drift wood trellis', constructing a 'door way' arbor to the Adventure side of our garden project and preparing the garden beds for planting. The garden project is aimed to encourage greener communities and connecting people back to the food we eat and the land we live on. The Adventure side of the Garden is themed the four elements; earth, wind, fire and water. This day was the start of the project which will develop over the coming months to include interactive components for all ages. The Boys and Girls Club would like to thank the BCLC group for spending the day digging, preparing and building. It's amazing what a small group of people can accomplish in a day with positive energy a little skill and many laughs. Without the support and energy of groups like BCLC and other Club partners we wouldn't be able to create initiatives and programs that support the development of our community; you are all true champions!
