Community Events
The Boston Bar North Bend Enhancement Society:
The BBNB Enhancement Society is a registered non-profit society comprised of dedicated volunteers who work together to enhance the quality of life in our communities. Any local resident can become a member for $5.00 per year and have a say in all the important issues facing our community. Annual General Meetings take place every June when elections of directors and officers take place. In order to nominate, vote or run for a position as officer or director of the Enhancement Board, individuals must become a paid up member at least 60 days prior to the AGM. Memberships can be paid for at Canyon Lanes during their business hours.
The next AGM will be held at 6 pm on Monday, June 16th, 2025 at Canyon Lanes.
The regular meetings are usually held on the 3rd Monday of every month and everyone is welcome to attend. The date, time and location can be found on the calendar of the Update Newsletter.
Minutes of all meetings conducted in the past have been stored at Canyon Lanes bowling alley, 47585 Trans Canada Highway, and can be viewed during business hours by any of our community residents.
Minutes of regular and annual general meetings are held in files at Canyon Lanes. Minutes of AGMs are posted here:
Programs and Events for Seniors:
Thanks to a New Horizons grant, a program specifically available for seniors 55 and older provides opportunity to get together and socialize, by way of afternoon teas or dinners/bingo nights at the Boston Bar Community Hall. Other programs to improve quality of life include foot care and dental hygiene thanks to funding provided by Thursday night's Lions Bingo. (These health programs are available to anyone of any age.) Check with the monthly Update newsletter and refer to the calendar specifically for dates of upcoming events.
An afternoon Tea and Social time for Seniors is held monthly from 1 - 3 pm at the Boston Bar Community Hall. Please refer to the Update newsletter for the date.
Every Thursday, the doors at Boston Bar Hall open at 4 pm for a Seniors' Social Time. This is followed by a $5 dinner at 5 pm after which they can choose to stay for Lions Club Bingo at 6 pm.
COPS FOR CANCER TOUR DE VALLEY are coming to Boston Bar Elementary Secondary School on SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 15th, 2024.
They will stop here between 11:30 am and noon for a well-deserved rest and a nutritious lunch prepared by our wonderful community volunteers. The members of law enforcement and emergency services personnel that sign up for several months of rigorous training and commit their time and effort to fundraising, wrap it all up in September with an eight-day 800 kilometer ride through the coast of British Columbia. When Cops for Cancer cycles up the Fraser Canyon to come to Boston Bar, they are always very grateful for the nourishing lunch provided, but they are also more than happy to talk to our community's citizens who come out to cheer on these inspiring men and women.
The impact of cancer on a child's life...and their family....is overwhelming. If you can, please give generously to this very worthy cause! Help these incredible men and women pedal their way to a cure for childhood cancer!

Boston Bar and North Bend Announcements 2023
Remembrance Day
Our community began holding an annual Remembrance Day service in 2008. We asked for advice from the Legions in Hope and Lytton on proper protocol. The Lytton Legion donated some wreaths to use for our first service, and the Clinton Legion has donated an additional four crosses and seven wreaths. Community volunteers provide refreshments after the event. Members of the community recite the poem “In Flanders Fields” and the reply to “In Flanders Fields”. They also support the event with purchases of the poppy and cedar wreaths made locally by Kathy Walters. We have on display a permanent honour roll of all the men and women who served in the military in our community.

ANNUAL “STUFF the CRUISER EVENT” 2017
Boston Bar continues to amaze with the amount of food and cash donations that go to our local Food Bank. So much hard work goes into this event to make it a success every year. RCMP Officers use their own time to organize and attend the event and the public is always so supportive of their efforts.
On December 2nd, 2017, our Boston Bar RCMP members Phil, Darren and Robert collected approximately 800 lbs. of food and received over $3,000.00 in cash donations and vouchers. What a wonderfully successful annual event this has turned out to be!
Thank you to our local RCMP, to George, Kevin, Janet and staff of Canyon Tirecraft for use of their lot and the delicious Pancake Breakfast (and to Ainslie Creek Enterprises for donating the "Stuff the Cruiser" sign.)
And a very heartfelt THANKS goes to our very generous community!
