It has already been a busy week here is Clarington with all of the television coverage of the salmon rescue (although some brown trout has also been rescued). Breakfast Television with Jennifer Valentyne was here yesterday (Tuesday) doing a live broadcast. Any CBC was out later in the afternoon to tape a follow-up story about the same topic ? it aired last night towards the end of The National. Talk about fish tales!
Well, the upcoming weekend looks like it is going to be action packed to say the least. To kick it off it is JERSEY DAY which kicks off the Sports Day in Canada program which is presented by CBC Sports, Radio-Canada Sports, ParticipACTION and True Sport, working with national sporting organizations and their networks of coaches, athletes and enthusiasts across the country. It?s an opportunity for all Canadians to celebrate the power of sport to build community, fortify our national spirit and facilitate healthy, active living. Wear the jersey of your favourite team!
Friday is also the first day of Culture Days in Clarington. Culture Days is a collaborative coast-to-coast-to-coast volunteer movement to raise the awareness, accessibility, participation and engagement of Canadians in the arts and cultural life of their communities. There are 8 participating sites in Clarington. You can pick up a postcard promoting the event partners at the Tourism Office (181 Liberty Street South, Bowmanville) or you can click this link and view a pdf version of the postcard ? including a map of all the partners.
