Out and About in Osoyoos, BC

Bamfield – Afternoon on the Alta

On October 5, 2013January 8, 2017 By GeoKsIn British ColumbiaLeave a comment

By the second morning at Bamfield, the grade 9 students had long since worked out that there was generally an advantage to being at the front of the food line.
