An important reminder - the Annual Veterans’ BBQ will be held on the afternoon of Friday June 7 th at Long Island Camp. As in previous years, we will provide the steaks, salads, and dessert. Tickets went on sale at the Veterans RGM on Tuesday 9th April. Also, as in previous years, please remember to bring your plate, utensils, and your personal choice of liquid refreshments. (BYOB). Since this long-time favourite event has not happened for a few years, this will be a wonderful opportunity to rekindle friend-ships and the joys of a yearly tradition at Long Island Camp.

There are some suggestions that the idea of Father's Day may originate in pagan sun worship. Some branches of paganism see the Sun as the father of the universe. The June solstice occurs around the same time of year as Father's Day so some people saw a link between the two.
The idea of a special day to honor fathers and celebrate fatherhood was introduced from the United States. A woman called Sonora Smart Dodd was inspired by the American Mother's Day celebrations and planned a day to honor fathers early in the 20th century. The first Father's Day was celebrated in Spokane, Washington on June 19, 1910. Father’s Day has become increasingly popular throughout North America and other parts of the world over the years. Mother’s Day is also celebrated in Canada on an annual basis.
