It has been proposed that we come out of hibernation and have a Kiwi get-together now that spring has sprung in sunny Victoria. ANZAC Day is coming up on Saturday 25th April and we thought that that would be a good day to get the Kiwi community in Victoria together.
We have been contacted by a number of new arrivals on the Island who are keen to say Kia Ora/G'day to some local Kiwis.
So we're organizing a low key event that we hope you can attend.
It's a BBQ (or 'wiener roast' as they say in Canada) at the Goldstream Provincial Park Picnic Shelter. (location) (map)
It will be a very informal affair. B.Y.O. pretty much everything you'll need to eat, drink and sit on.
The Province of British Columbia will be providing the fire pits, picnic tables and the beautiful surroundings (by way of it being a public park). We'll be providing the New Zealanders. You bring something to roast over the fire, something to drink, camp-chairs, your good self, the kids, grandma and grandpa, the dog, and maybe some firewood if you've got it handy. Don't fret if you don't have any of this stuff. Someone will no doubt share their fire pit, give you a hotdog and lend you a grandpa.

We'll try to get there early and snag a good fire pit and a picnic table or two. It a popular spot on a sunny day.
Hey mate,
Looking forward to this, nothing like roasting a dog on an open fire! what time are you calling early?
cheers
Daryl Snell.
I thought you were out of town Snelly? It will be good to have you there. I was thinking around 11-ish but if you feel like getting there earlier and staking a claim that would be good.
Disclaimer: Victoria Kiwis and the SPCA will not let Snelly roast your dog on an open fire. No animals were harmed in the making of this BBQ. :-)
