ALDERWOOD HOUSE, a reggio inspired school for children age 18 months to 5 years, is
inviting the community to it’s Treehouse Grand Opening party on May 23.

This event is the culmination of an 8 month project: the 3 and 4 year olds at Alderwood House have independently designed, built, and painted their Rainbow Castle Treehouse. Working almost daily, with only the winter and spring school breaks, children have dilled screws, carried wood, dictated how wood should be cut, drawn and re-drawn plans, developed an understanding of paint mixing (painted their hair green). . .and even braved home depot to locate paint. This is an incredible example of child perseverance and passion - something Alderwood House children nurture as they explore the world through project work - projects like the treehouse project.

Inspired by Fantasy Gardens and the Capilano Suspension Bridge, the design includes a drawbridge, natural sticks and roots as both structural and aesthetic features, a very good hiding place for small tiny people, and the structures highlight: rainbow walls.

Recently, a gnome has moved into the tree, likely because he loves the Castle Treehouse so very much."The gnome is our friend, he has the gold. He will come to the Grand Party, I think." said MiGun, 5, one of the treehouse designers.

On May 23, from 9:30 - 12:00, please join us for our Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting. Snacks will be served, activities appropriate for children 1 – 5 will be available.

For more information, please contact Pamela Wallberg

TAPENADE BISTRO

Summer Long Weekends are Here!
Did you know Tapenade is always open on a long weekend Monday? Since you are off, we are here to help make your day off easier.

So if you haven't left town... drop in to sit on the patio and drink a glass of wine. By the way the new vintages for most BC Wineries are in: Popular Grove, Blue Mountain, La Frenz, Black Hills and more.
Patio season has started!!!
Our patio is starting to get busy... Sitting outside after a long and cold winter feels sooooo nice. Specially if there are Spot Prawns or a Lamb T-Bone (fresh this weekend) to enjoy.

Our spring/summer menu is being a real hit with our customers. If you haven't had a chance to come in, come in this weekend or on the holiday Monday and try out some of Alex's delicious creations.

The Potato Soup (not your average dish!) is one of my personal favourites, I keep having it every time I can. Another dish that has been a huge success is the Lunch Steak Salad, the best carnivore salad you have ever had, sooo good to the point of being indecent to call it a salad!

Come in and tell us what your favourite new dish is, we value your opinion.

Check out the complete menu at www.tapenade.ca.
