“BC/Yukon Command of The Royal Canadian Legion has a super Remembrance Video Contest for youth, with the chance to win great Apple prizes. It's all about youth expression!

Young people have interesting views of the world around them. They have unique sentiments and feelings. They articulate using social media to its full advantage and do so quite remarkably. Through our Remembrance Video Contest, we want to inspire this creative talent. We want to afford young people a medium for their voice to be heard. We want others to learn what is important to young people through their words and their artistic expression.

We know that young people care about the meaning of Remembrance. We want others to know and that is why we created a Remembrance Video Contest, only in BC/Yukon!

Put on your dancing shoes because the place is gonna be rocking. Cathy Neigel has graciously allowed me to use her equipment to spin some tunes. I have picked a mixture of dance and party tunes ranging from the 1940's to today. If you like to dance, I guarantee you'll be shaking a leg.

There will be snacks and sandwiches to keep your body fueled up and Heather has some Drink Specials lined up to make sure your throat does not get parched from all the dancing and celebrating.

History of The Annual Golden Triangle Memorial Poker Run

The Annual Golden Triangle Poker Run was started by Bryan Englehart 4 years ago. Bryan was a rider that said "We should have a Local Poker Run !" and then organized it. Bryan did everything the first 2 years with only his wife Janice to help.

In 2010 The Royal Canadian Legion and Mayhem Motorsports pitched in to help Bryan with the details of the Run but the cards were still dealt by Bryan.

Bryan passed away suddenly, this spring while we were in the midst of planning this years Poker Run.  It is fitting to dedicate The Annual Golden Triangle Poker Run to the memory of the Poker Run founder, Golden Resident, Legion Comrade, fellow rider and friend, Bryan Englehart .... Ride with the Wind !
