Due to Covid-19, Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley has not occurred since Sunday, September 16th, 2018.
They stop for a well-deserved rest and a nutritious lunch prepared by our wonderful community volunteers. The emergency personnel that sign up for the rigorous training and all the fundraising end it all in September with a grueling trek through the diverse terrain of our province. When Cops for Cancer stops here, they are always very grateful for the great lunch but are also extremely happy to talk to citizens that give up a couple of hours of their time to come out and cheer these wonderful men and women on.
The impact of cancer on a child's life...and their family....is overwhelming. Please give generously. If not your money, then please give your time to this worthy cause!
IT IS OUR HOPE THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO HOST COPS FOR CANCER TOUR DE VALLEY IN 2022!

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”
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!
