Sooke - Whiffen Spit Broom
Cut - May 23, 2009
In May of 2007 Juan de Fuca Community Trails Society working
with the District of Sooke held a Broom Bash on the Whiffen
Spit. As Sooke is ground zero for broom we thought it
fitting. The event was a great success. People had fun,
much broom was removed and the wild roses given breathing
space. The group agreed with the District of Sooke to do a
follow up sweep this year. The event was held Saturday
May 23 2009. |
