About 30 members, guests and spouses enjoyed an outdoor barbeque on the airport property near the Combined Services Building (off Alert Road) on Saturday 18 August 2007. Although sunny, the weather was cool with a relatively low temperature and strong wind, but everyone warmed up once the burgers, dogs, salads and soft drinks were ready. Although the mid-day Saturday air traffic was light, there were some interesting movements as police and military air units prepared for the arrival of the US and Mexican presidents the following day for the Three Amigos North American Summit at Montebello Quebec.

Everyone in attendance agreed that Denis Godin and Steph Nicholds had done a great job in organizing the outing; a formal motion at a subsequent general meeting ensured that the barbeque will be an annual event. The Watch thanks the airport's Combined Services Unit and Fire Service for their assistance in making our 1st Annual Summer BBQ happen.
