An Enderby resident, Steve Campbell, is planning a moonlight paddle on the Shuswap River the Saturday night nearest the full moon in each of the summer months. The first such paddle is coming up on July 20, which happens to be one night before the moon is full. The moon is scheduled to rise about 7 and the sun should set about 9 p.m., so to fully enjoy the light of the moon he recommends launching between 8:30 and 10 p.m. so you are on the river for 10 and later.
The paddle is not an officially sanctioned event – it’s open to anybody who has a canoe, kayak or paddleboard.

Run the traverse
Rene Unser is organizing the second Annual P.A.C.E. Fitness Charity Run on Sunday, July 21. This year, Unser and her group of 30 runners are planning to run from Salmon Arm to Sicamous on trails that make up the Larch Hills Traverse. The distance is just under 40 kilometres and will take approximately five to six hours to complete. The goal is to raise $7,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society.
