The annual Boots & Toques Winter Carnival will take place tomorrow (Friday) night in Quesnel.
Jeff Norburn, the Director of Community Services, says it will go from 5 o’clock until 8 at the West Fraser Centre and Lebourdais Park and in the plaza between the two.
“As for the types of things that we have going on we have public skating with the Quesnel Kangaroos, we’ve got tobogganing, there will be fire pits and hot chocolate, ball hockey, disc golf, I think they have fluorescent discs that you can see at night. There’s arts an crafts as well, so just a lot of sort of fun family activities that will be going on.”
Norburn says the public skating will be a little different this year.
“Last year we used arena 2 and not the West Fraser Centre, so we’re back in the West Fraser Centre which is an opportunity for people who maybe aren’t in a registered ice sport to public skate on the West Fraser Centre ice because all of our public skating is normally in arena 2.”
While it is a free family event, Norburn says people are encouraged to bring a non-perishable food donation for the Green Hope Society.
He says there will be a drop-off location there.
The Winter Carnival has for the most part been an annual event since 2009 back when it was held in the West Fraser Timber Park.
