Article content
Action in the Restigouche Pickleball Club has begun.
The RPC held beginner sessions at the Campbellton Regional Memorial Civic Centre on the weekend and again in Heron Bay this week at the Inch Arran Ice Palace in Dalhousie.
Dozens of people turned up at each event with plans underway to offer regular use of the portable courts throughout the summer.
For more information, visit the club’s Facebook page.
Photos sought for waterfront display
The photo display on the Campbellton waterfront is about to have a new look.
Last summer, a project was undertaken to post about a dozen local sunset photos submitted by community members and this year, city staff are asking for people to submit a photo of their favourite activity. Once enough new photos are collected, the display will be switched from sunset to activities.
To submit a photo, contact the Campbellton Regional Community through its Facebook page.
College rental session Thursday
The NBCC in Campbellton will be holding an information session this week for students and renters wondering about rental opportunities.
The meeting will take place at the community college on May 2 starting at 7:30 p.m.
Local artists wanted
The Restigouche River Experience Centre is looking for local artisans who want to include their goods in the gift shop.
The RREC is located at the RV park on the Campbellton waterfront and is expected to open in a couple of weeks.
Circus in Heron Bay Sunday
Canada’s Circus Spectacular will be performing a pair of shows in Dalhousie Sunday.
The first show starts at 1:30 p.m. followed by a second performance at 4:30 p.m. at the Inch Arran Ice Palace.
The circus will feature acrobats, clowns, motorcycles, jugglers and more with discount tickets available by visiting the company’s website.
Another city market coming
A weekly market in Campbellton is returning to the waterfront each Wednesday this summer but another one has been added.
Every Tuesday from 6 p.m. until 9:30 p.m., a weekly artisans’ market will be held at the Campbellton Curling Club, starting June 18. It’s already full, with 30 vendors set to appear with a waiting list in place for others wanting to participate.
