From a humble start in a local elementary school four years ago (Thanks Dalcy!), to the Whistler Conference Centre in the heart of Whistler village this year (2007), it has been a wonderful journey.

Thanks to all our participants, partners and volunteers!

 It was great to see all the new faces, and heartwarming to reconnect with those of you who return year after year.

2007 saw our fourth venue in four years, each year bigger and better, and the weather was fantastic. (Maybe just a little too nice to be inside ;-))
Whistler was a busy place that weekend, with our May Fair, Father-Daughter Annual Gala, and Mother's Day all falling on the first summer-like weekend after a long, long winter. So the trails, bike paths, and outdoor patios were hopping with visitors, and thanks to our partner Tourism Whistler, the conference centre was a convenient stop for many.
The Body Comp trailer was testing folks outside by the Whistler Question van, there were slow-food cooking demos in the foyer and fresh spring produce from North Arm Farms, the Salt Spring Island Fiddle Troup gave a wonderful performance, and kids played games of feather-hacky sack and ring-frisbee.
Inside, visitors could try samples of everything from organic chocolate to xango juice, spin on a stationary bike or have their back walked on, watch a pole-dancing fitness demo or a belly-dancing beauty. The room was vibrant and the displays were gorgeous.
Thanks again everyone. "See you at the fair!" in 2008.
