This year, the BCA peeps get together to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Confederation! So, think Canada Day, think red and white and dress up your boat in the most Canadian fashion – there will be a prize for the best decorated boat in the bay!

Also, be sure to wear your own best red and white attire for the potluck dinner on the Sunday – there will be prizes as well for the best male and female Canadian inspired outfits! In the meantime, dig up your best Canadian potluck recipe and be prepared for a great weekend full of activities and fun.

You can get more details about what we have planed on the BCA website. But here are the highlights for this year:

New this year! Appie Hour and Swap Meet at the Park – meet for Appie Hour and bring any treasures that need a good home. Tables will be available.
The always popular and fun floating lunch on Sunday
New this year! Name that Canadian Tune contest after dinner!
