Filomi Days Facing possible cancellation – Decision by Feb 2Posting on behalf of the Filomi Days committee.Filomi Days is a long-running community festival run entirely by volunteers. Many of their long-time volunteers have stepped back, and despite repeated calls, no new volunteers have come forward.Planning must begin at least six months in advance. Without volunteers confirmed by February 2, Filomi Days risks cancellation this year. This is not a decision anyone wants to make. It is simply the reality of running a volunteer-led community event. Even a small time commitment can help keep this community tradition going.Please email Rob Tucker rob.tucker@bcbudget.com by February 2 if you can help, or would like more information.
