Bizarre Bazaar raise $430 for Project Tembo

The 4th annual Bizarre Bazaar: What an incredible success!


Tween Club raised $330 through a variety of activities including: a fantastic bake sale, garage sale, bouncy castle, apple bobbing, bean toss and a how-many-jelly-beans-in-the-jar guessing contest!

One of our Tween Clubbers won jelly-bean guessing contest. Sadie guessed 783 and there were 782 beans in the jar. Enjoy those jelly beans, Sadie!

We also received a generous donation of $100 from one of our Tween Club parents, Bev Cleary, which pushed our total raised to $430.

Thanks to everyone for all their hard work on Saturday!

An Evening With Dominique

Come and join Dominique Larocque, founding director of Creative Wheel and LaRoccaXC Mountain Bike School for an educative evening about the health benefits of cycling. Dominique will tailor a program for participants and will cover the ABC to guarantee a fun and safe season on our bikes. Dominique will incorporate inspiration, art and some physical challenges into her session. We will not be leaving the property on our bikes and bikes can be shared in pairs.

To know more about Dominique, visit her vision at www.creativewheel.ca.

Dominique joined us two years ago for a Bike Rodeo. This session will not be as physical for the girls. We are limited by the park. I'm thrilled to have Dom back to spend time with the girls. She's an amazing influence for girls of all ages.

Bollywood Dancig




Erica McCulloch joined us to help with a Bollywood dancing lesson. She started by giving us some of the background of Bollywood then she let the girls try on saris and scarves which the girls loved.

We learned a variety of movements with our hands including lotus and deer. We then learned a few moves and finally Erica challenged us to put together our own routines. Then it was showtime.
