FAMILY FISHING DAY: in 2011 the Club started what has become an annual event: a barbecue and informal youth fishing derby for members on the Free Fishing Weekend in June.
MEMBER BENEFITS:
- Use your range combo to open the gate.
- Enjoy the new picnic area and dock built in 2011 by the Club’s Mawson Lake Committee
- The use of this area is dedicated for the use of families and youth. Despite what appears in the Fishing Regulations, the Club hopes that adult members will practice catch & release, and that youth will retain only one or two fish per outting.
- DAY USE ONLY: Over night camping by individuals is not permitted. Camping is only permitted for organized community groups (e.g. Cadets, Scouts, etc.) by reservation. The Mawson Lake property does not have the facilities to accommodate lots of camping.
Please report any problems to Annette or Walter at 428-4355 or 250-402-9154.
NON-MEMBERS:

the use of Kidd Creek Rifle Range and Mawson Lake.
