    • money for the vending machines (you are not allowed to use them)

  • If you’re wondering who on earth Yukon Dan is, here’s his website. I’ve brought him in several times over the years to gold pan, etc. with the Grade 5s and this year the PAC is generously funding this, along with a grant from MineralsEd BC. It’s an A-MA-ZING experience. I’ll take photos and put them on the blog.
