Barnard Club Breakfast
Topic: Myth-Busting with MARK COLLINS, President & CEO, BC Ferries
Everything you wanted to know about BC Ferries, but were too afraid to ask.
One of the world's largest marine passenger systems, BC Ferries is an economic driver in BC. With 36 vessels, 47 terminals, 25 routes and 5100 experienced staff, it connects residents, business travellers, visitors, and cargo to their destinations along coastal British Columbia.
Ever wonder why BC Ferries has gift shops on major vessels? Why the 30-minute cut-off time for reservations? What happened to the Sunshine Breakfast? Who actually owns BC Ferries? Why Wi-Fi is so bad on the vessels? Come with your questions. Mark will do his best to bust the myths and urban legends about our coastal ferry service… and we’ll have a few laughs and aha moments along the way.
All the funds from this event go to support the programs and activites at Camp Barnard. Help us to make this event a success!

Apple Day 2019 will be Saturday, September 28 AND October 5, 9 am-4 pm.
Apple Day is a Scouting tradition that started right here in Canada! Through Apple Day youth receive donations from the public and present an apple in appreciation. Each Group selects sites to canvass including neighbourhood stores and other busy areas.
Money raised during Apple Day is shared between Scout groups and Camp Barnard. The group portion supports youth and their programs; the Camp Barnard portion helps to maintain this great facility while keeping camp fees affordable for groups using the facility. Aside from the important fundraising aspect of Apple Day, it is a great opportunity to show our neighbours that Scouting is thriving in the community and is worthy of support.

Polar Bear Swim
The funds raised from this event will go towards repairs, maintenance, and on-going development at camp. Don’t think about how cold the water of the lake might be on New Years Day; think about the heated washroom building next to Mor, hot showers at Keego bathroom, the nice new porch at McPherson Lodge! These are the kinds of camp improvemments your fundraising supports!
Ways to particpate in the Polar Bear Swim;
- Sponsor someone to take the plunge on January 1st.
- Sponsor someone to not swim… total pledges in the “don’t have to swim column” allows the participant to avoid a refreshing dip in the lake if they want to… but why would they want to do that?
- Challenge others to take part… who can raise the most money to support Camp Barnard?
- Can’t swim? Bring your canoe or kayak out.
- Out of town on January 1st? why not make a direct donation to Camp Barnard or sponsor someone else to swim? Or take the plunge wherever you are!
Willy has agreed to host a swim at Camp Barnard again this year, and will reserve the right to postpone the swim if conditions dictate. Please let Willy know if you will be swimming at camp campbarnard@scouts.ca. Everyone taking part at camp is responsible for their own first aid. We'll get a bonfire going and heat up the hot chocolate.
