Celebrate BC’s 150th Anniversary at Sun Peaks Resort, August 2 - 3
2008 marks the 150th anniversary of the province of British Columbia and Sun Peaks is throwing a party.
Take part in family activities such as the Wildlife Geocache Adventure where participants will map out and search for hidden caches - much like the prospectors did 150 years ago during BC’s gold rush.
Other activities and events sure to keep the kids entertained include magic shows, cookie-making lessons from a famous Sun Peaks chef, the zoomobile and story telling.
Parents can enjoy more adult-oriented activities and events like the Farmer’s Market or musical performances on the outdoor stage.
Another bonus: Sun Peaks Resort should have great weather this weekend - perfect for a day outside with nature. BC’s interior destinations are traditionally hot, hot, hot during July and August. But fear not, fair-skinned vacationers - you won’t be returning the work looking like a lobster! This weekend will bring relief for those venturing outdoors with temperatures expected to hover around 21 - 26 degrees celcius (or 70 - 79 fahrenheit for our American visitors).
