Neither the British Columbia or Alberta holidays made much of an impact at the lake this year. Perhaps the new holiday just has not caught on yet, or word of the non-winter-like conditions kept visitors away but whatever it was, there were very few visitors to the lake for the first 2 weekends in February. Weird weather and winter conditions have impacted many of the activities normally enjoyed at the lake this time of year, both work and play…mostly play. Some of us hope to simply celebrate winter fun with our families a little later this winter and luckily, there are still enough days on the calendar to enjoy a family day weekend.
