Rivers Day Shuswap River in EnderbyOn Sunday, September 25 2011, Enderby and Area F again took part in BC Rivers Day . The Chamber is a proud organizer and co-sponsor of this event, which celebrates, honours, and heals the Shuswap River.

Rivers Day volunteers arrived at Belvedere Park at 9am.  Clean-up materials such as garbage bags and pickers were provided, as well as refreshments.  Every volunteer received a lunch voucher that could be redeemed at participating restaurants.

Volunteers participated by walking, canoeing, kayaking, and boating the river with clean-up materials. Educational displays were located in Belvedere Park, by the Enderby Chamber.

Splats'in Councillor Randy WIlliams, City of Enderby Mayor Dee Wejr, and Area F Director and RDNO Chair Herman Halvorson provided opening remarks.  Councillor Williams provided a traditional Splats'in song.

Sounds of Light Multicultural Society hosted a salmon painting fundraiser facilitated by local artist Jamie Seward.
