Thank you to our 2021/22 Sponsors. As we all know Covid 19 has affected many of the things our kids are able to do socially (the past year). We want to thank our sponsors for helping us to make our kids lives a little more normal for at least a short fraction of time. They had the opportunity to get out on the ice and work on some hockey skills with some teammates.

We really appreciate the support from local support from businesses and Industry that helped to make this year happen.

BLCOMFOR has proudly planted 1.23 million trees this spring season here in our community forest. Planting trees ensures a future for many industries around Burns Lake and helps maintain our forests integrity.
We have recently finished our planting season this past weekend! Planters from Hybrid 17 Planted all around our community forest, combined with their other camp they planted around 150,000 trees daily! J camp up at Eagle Creek Fair Grounds has around 60 planters and all but 2 are returning from previous years. Hybrid 17 has a huge return on staff annually and credits it to the culture of their company. Their future plans to continue this return is shifting the culture into a family environment where parents can plant in the spring as their income, and not only a summer job for students. Many planters this year are students, however many have stayed passed graduating university or plan too. Now that the season is done many planters are returning to their other jobs or going to plant for another company during the summer! ... See MoreSee Less
