The local GM dealer is having a golf tournament on the weekend. Local links are 9 holes with a back 9 for 18. The club house has room for about 250 people. The course includes the Nicola River and is a pleasant venue that sometimes has a   blue heron, fox, and a deer with two fawns to add to the experience.
