Children’s Fun Fair at Bowen Island Community School
Sunday, April 30, 10:30 AM-12:30 PM
Families of Bowen Island are welcome to a free Children’s Fair in the BICS Gym. The event is geared towards children 0-5, but all families are welcome. The event features a drum circle from Squamish cultural advisor Sahplek Bob Baker, music from Katie Brock, crafts, activities, and snacks.
It is a great opportunity for families to gather, learn about some of the supports available on the island for children and families, and for future Kindergarten students and families to spend some time at the school and ask any early questions they might have for BICS principal Scott Slater, as well the chance to meet and talk with various health, recreation, and other program providers that serve our community.
Families can come for any part of the Fair.

GALLERIES
Wedding? Grad? Special occasion? New home? or just because. Our little island has become a very popular place to celebrate special occasions, and weddings and grad are big ones! From very special rings and jewellery, tiaras, hats and fascinators, to art and collectibles for a new home, there is something for occasion. And for those who prefer to choose for themselves, a gift certificate is a perfect option.
