This summer, we’ve planned some fun, let’s-try-to-get-back-together-again, outdoor events for the whole family! Let’s see if we can have some fun, while continuing to stay safe, as we begin to dip our toes back into the Bay.
You can keep up to date with Outings and Events news on the BNIA website. Also see the online calendar at bnia.ca/events. We’ll also send reminders and updates by our regular BNIA e-newsletters.
You can also follow us on Instagram @thebnia, and feel free to share your come-back adventures by posting in our Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/bayfieldnares.
