Westboro Beach Community Association Winter Bonfire
What – Westboro Beach Community Association Winter Bonfire
Where – Westboro Beach
When – February 13/2009 (there is no alternate date)
Westboro Beach Toboggan Hill
Time – 3:00 pm to 5:30 pm
Hello neighbours;
It has been several months since the last WBCA event (Beach closing bonfire) and it is time to get together with friends and neighbours to enjoy the outdoors. One of the best ways to enjoy the winter is to go tobogganing. As many of you probably know, there is a nice slope at Westboro beach where many people go tobogganing with family and friends. If the snow conditions are favourable we can also build snowmen or snow forts.
As anyone who has been tobogganing at Westboro beach knows, it can get quite cold when the wind is blowing off the Ottawa River. To help warm up after a few runs down the hill, there will be a bonfire and free hot chocolate. In order to reduce the amount of waste, we are asking people to bring their own mugs for the hot chocolate.
Lets all work together to make this a safe and fun event. We do not want to have any collisions on the hill. Before sliding down the hill, please check to ensure that no one is coming up the hill in the area you will be sliding down. There are plenty of cars travelling west on the Ottawa River Parkway so keep an eye on the kids so they do not climb up the snow bank between the top of hill and the Parkway. Finally, be sure to keep the kids that are with you from sliding onto the frozen river, playing along the river shoreline or wandering out onto the frozen river.
What can you do to help make this event successful?
- Show up and have a good time.
- Inform you neighbours about the event.
- Contribute wood for a fire. If you have any firewood you wish to contribute, telephone Peter Bruton at 613 798-0880.
- Bring your own mugs for the hot chocolate.
See you on the hill.
