Home Page | ROTARY CLUB OF SALMON ARM

After two years of us missing the popular Shuswap Wine Fest with Spirit, we will be hosting our 18th Annual Event again this Fall, on October 22. The event will be held at the Centenoka Park Mall and will have the same format as we've always had, with popular wineries, distilleries and, hopefully, our new local cideries offering samples of their product. This will be accompanied by appies provided as samples from local food manufacturers.

Tickets will be available on-line for sale very soon, so keep an eye on this website and our Facebook and Instagram posts. We look forward to seeing you there!

The Salmon Arm Food Forest

Posted by Hazel Nevrkla

At a recent meeting, Salvation Army Lieutenant and Rotary member Joel Torrens talked about and showed us pictures of the Community Food Forest recently started at their Lighthouse location at the corner of 3^rd Street and 5^th Avenue SW.

The Food Forest is designed to highlight the need for and provide food security. The gardens are being planted with fruits (including trees), vegetables, and herbs which will be available for anyone to come by and harvest so that they can have a nutritious meal.
