The ice is slowly receding from Nimpo Lake, despite three inches of snow during the weekend.
Fishing will be sluggish for a week or two but is expected to be great for the upcoming Dean River Canoe Race May 24 where prize money will be up for grabs as paddlers travel from Nimpo Lake down the Dean River to Anahim Lake.
A pancake breakfast is scheduled at the Nimpo Lake public boat launch for 9 a.m. with bingo at the Anahim Hall to follow at 1 p.m. Dinner and a dance to follow.
The event is sponsored by the Community Associations of Nimpo and Anahim Lake.
