The Wawanosh Bush Whackers
took advantage of Friday’s nice
weather and went to Wawanosh
Lake for an evening of canoeing and
hiking.
After playing a quick game of
Spud, the meeting started with the 4-
H pledge and roll call, What’s one
food a camper could use?
Next, everyone was split into three
groups based on their canoeing
experience. Then the club was split
into two groups. One went hiking
and the other canoeing.
The hikers went on a trail by the
lake. Members saw fungus, a
snapping turtle, and talked about
setting up camp.
The canoers watched a
demonstration about wearing
appropriate-sized lifejackets, and
how to canoe, then set out on the
lake.
After, they switched activities,
then got back together and talked
about the camping trip next
weekend.
The camping trip is at the
Wawanosh Nature Centre on May 1
and 2.

presentation last week by Bruce Langford of Stand Up Now
Productions. Langford hosted a radio show, sang and
danced, all while educating the students on the topic of
bullying. He took calls and questions, making sure he
covered all of the bases on his radio show. (Shawn Loughlin
