Salmon Arm Legion Branch 62 president Lance Ewan is working on building community in the Shuswap as part of greater unity overall, with the recent Friendship Snooker Tournament a step in the right direction.
Ewan was instrumental in having the branch sponsor the tournament, which had participants divided up into teams with each one having a representative from both Salmon Arm and Sorrento.
"If we can get along as neighbours, we can get along as provinces, we can get along as competitors," he said in a media release. "And yes, we can continue to bond as countries."
The tournament had prize money, trophies and bragging rights on the line but, throughout the four-day event, though all teams wanted to win they were still able to play competitively while still supporting the victors in the end.
