So much to tell you about at the beginning of this beautiful, sunny, snow-melting, sap-running, warmish, muddy, sandhill crane/purple finch/robin-returning month of April!
AlgomaTrad Registration Now Open!
Cowboy Jim and Sidekick want you to know that registration for AlgomaTrad is now open. You can register and pay on-line or download a pdf of the registration form and send in your registration and payment by mail. The Staff/Team page will continue to be updated as we confirm our instructors. OK, the gates are open….lots of new folks have been asking, so register early and good luck! BTW, aside from our usual excellent teaching staff and great food, we did want to mention that Steve Willoughby will be back this year leading another canoe-building workshop….yay!

AlgomaTrad Trivia Night Fun-draiser Results
We had a great night on Saturday, April 5, with 10 full tables and a challenging contest designed by Gina Marie Wilson…Thanks GM and Barb Willoughby for all your hard work taking the lead on this event. Thanks to all our Board and their families who once again rose to the challenge and helped make this a successful fundraiser for the Camp. The evening was made extra-special by performances by some of our AlgomaTrad youth musicians – thank you Samantha Giguere, Vanessa Ervin, Emma Wildman, Carolyn Devon, Wesley Willoughby, Josh Morehouse, Brya Bromfield, and Áine. Thanks to the Richards Landing Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 374, and Cameron Ross for their support. The evening was sponsored by Steam Whistle Brewing for the second year – we love that beer (great people too!) OH, and we had to go to the tie-breaker for the winning team….and they are….TEAM DEVON. Hope you guys enjoy your bars of Suzanne’s Soap, and Pat was just kidding about you having to shower all together……..
