There were plenty of grins in the Community Centre kitchen Tuesday afternoon as children gathered to learn from Chris Froehlich (not shown) how to bake scrumptious Christmas cookies — in this case snowballs covered in icing sugar. This Parks, Recreation and Culture Department program has been going on for years. To find out more about the children's Special Christmas Baking course please contact the Community Centre at 250-837-9351. David F. Rooney photo
