Tweedsmuir Park Rod and Gun Club is back with their summer offerings. Nicole Gerow told Lakes District News that they hope to make trap shootings “an every-Thursday kind of a thing” so people can come and enjoy or even practice shooting. The charges for Trap shooting start at $5 per round to cover electricity, clays, and thrower maintenance. Gerow mentioned that most prefer 12 gauge shells however, 20 gauge shells were also available at the club.

Canada Day 2020 celebrations may have been cancelled but the spirit of the day was still very much in the air. Gerald Eckland, a Burns Lake resident donned a special maple leaf-print jacket, complete with a hat and decorated his 1925 Star with flags. He then drove through the village along with Sylvia Salza in his vintage car, honking at passerby’s, waving the national flag. Eckland has built the Star 1925 himself and has been participating in car shows over the years.
