Get your toes tapping at FOCIS fundraiser

A bush dance in November will raise funds to support the ongoing work of the Friends of Churchill Island Society Inc (FOCIS).

The group has operated since 1980, working in a voluntary capacity to help with the maintenance and improvement of Churchill Island as well as enhancing the visitors' enjoyment and historical knowledge of the island.

Churchill Island recently acquired a Clydesdale horse called Charlie who will be giving visitors horse and cart rides around the Island.
