Ask anyone who grew up in Kamloops about McQueen Lake Environmental Centre and the response will invariably involve a broad grin and dreamy-eyed memories of discovering the wonders of nature.
The centre located 20 kilometres north of Kamloops has been a magical spot for 40 years and four generations of students. They all leave a little bit of their heart up there, said Kirsten McDougall, who was the centre s first, and for a time, only employee.
On Saturday, the centre s founders, its former and current staff and volunteers, and a few of its many, many fans gather at the beautiful locale to celebrate its 40th anniversary.
