Girl Guides host fundraiser recycling day Saturday

This summer a group of Girl Guides from Salmon Arm will be going on a trip to England

This summer a group of Girl Guides from Salmon Arm will be going on a trip to England. At the heart of this trip, they will be attending a world jamboree called PEAK.

PEAK is held every five years in the Derbyshire area, where a duke and duchess open up their estate for a week.

There are over 6,000 Guides and Scouts from around the world who will be in attendance. They will be representing Canada and British Columbia and educating others about the culture and the community of Salmon Arm.

April 11 will be a big fundraising event in the Rainbow Glass parking lot.

The Girl Guides are having a large recycling drive where many products will be recycled.

They are accepting refundable bottles and cans, printer ink cartridges, automotive and residential batteries, and printer toner cartridges.

They will have a barbecue lunch available as well as cookies for sale.
