Sachs Harbour - Recreation co-ordinator Doreen Carpenter was just recovering from a busy jamboree in Sachs Harbour. “It went really well,” she said.

The community held the kiddie carnival a week before the jamboree. “I don’t think I’ll do that again, because it was two weekends in a row of busy busy. It was sort of crazy,” said Carpenter.

Thankfully, plenty of volunteers and sponsors helped make the jamboree run smoothly. “There were a lot of volunteers who helped out in getting everything ready and groups that took care of things,” said Carpenter. “It made everything much easier.”

People enjoyed the outdoor events, especially with the beautiful weather, said Carpenter. She thanked everyone who helped set up the event, sponsored and helped out during it. “Without them, I don’t think it would have been as successful as it was,” she said.
