Welcome to the newly updated and improved CADS Web Site. Thanks must go to the committee who worked together, volunteering countless hours, to realize this accomplishment which will enable us to better communicate with our membership.

The 2008/09 Season certainly finished on a high note with what many believe to be one of our more successful Festivals. The Sun Peaks Resort – Delta Hotel and all the committees and volunteers involved worked very hard to make this happen. Thank You.

The presence of our Military Veterans at the Festival reminded us how much they have sacrificed and given to all Canadians. Without any fanfare they showed us why we should all be proud to be a Canadian.

As we move forward to the 2009/10 Season your Board of Directors is working on reducing costs, seeking funding but most importantly delivering the very best product we can to our Membership. The Strategic Planning Process we are going through will better position us to be more effective and more efficient.

I look forward to meeting old friends and making new ones at our next Annual General Meeting and Festival which will be held at Mt. Washington (Vancouver Island) in March 2010.
