Bike enthusiasts, this one’s for you.
There’s a bike fair at Gilmore Community School on Friday, June 16 from 6 to 9 p.m. There will lots of prizes and activities, including an obstacle course, a challenge-your-friend race, a repair station, a decorate-your-bike station and more. Do note that attendees bringing their two wheels must wear a helmet in order to ride at all the stations.
Make sure you don’t miss the Trials Stars performance by Jeff Anderson and Steve Dickin. The pair is well known for their world-class bicycling skills.
The event is also a fundraiser. Folks can donate a bike, tricycle, helmet or bike parts and the Burnaby Lougheed Lion’s Club will use all donations to make bike presents for children in need. Call 604-540-4424 to donate.
Towels needed
Got some extra towels?
The Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. needs them for its animal care centre.
“We use them for all sorts of reasons – cleaning, bed padding, animal handling – and we’re running a bit low for this time of year,” reads a post on the group’s Facebook page. “We’re in need of large and small towels, hand towels, face cloths and rags.”
Donations can be dropped off at 5216 Glencarin Dr.
