Remember Canada Day celebrations? Right on the lawn south of the auditorium we would gather from all around the division to picnic together and sing O Canada...and at one time, God save the Queen/King was included.
Our first summer as DY's the septic system failed...timing is everything...and in the middle of O Canada the sewage truck arrived to pump out the septic well. Beep, beep, beep...as it backed up to the well. "What a lovely smell" was the additional comment.
Happy Canada Day to you all!

I loved Canada Day Picnic!!!! It was the begining of summer and catching up with everyone you missed through the winter.
Working at camp I remember the HUGE Ice Cream Sundae we made one year.
Also the baseball tournaments were entertaining!!!
I had forgotten about the picnic! It was so much fun. I must have missed the year with the septic problems but I was there for many other exciting years. I remember the big sundae, I was probably on staff that year too. Miss those days.
