BC Day is a brilliant day for a potluck picnic! Now all that's missing is the food, and there's nothing better than getting to know what yelpers favourite noshings are. So here's the plan:

The dish you bring must be something that is a favourite of yours. And you've gotta be prepared to say either how you made it or where you bought it. Either store bought or homemade are totally acceptable, it just has to be a favourite!

Feel free to bring "plus one's" just make sure you've announced them in the discussion below so I can anticipate how much "lemonade" to bring.

If you're "In" bring a dish (and any necessities required for serving it: knife etc). I'll bring some chairs, the sporks, napkins and some bevvies, but if you have em, bring towels, blankets or chairs for yourself and perhaps a bevvy to add to the mix (alcoholic is always encouraged!)

PS. I'm open to the park/beach area. If you have a better idea that is reasonably accessible by transit, and won't be crazy busy, share :-)

I am most likely in.  I should be back from my West Coast Trail adventure the day before.  So some lazy lounging on the grass sounds like a grand idea.  I will let you know Sat or Sun for sure.  I can bring a big pasta or potato salad (I can use GF pasta if there are those that can't have the wheat).  Sounds like fun!!

Eek sounds really fun, but I'm at work until 4:30 monday to friday. do you think it could be on a weekend instead? I'd suggest a later time, but that would still cut Karin out.

I think some Yelpers are forgetting that Monday is a HOLIDAY!!! I might stop by late since the off-leash hours don't start till 5pm... I would feel too guilty going to the park without my little Bruno.

I'm still  a maybe, but I'm leaning more towards coming. It depends on if my mom will be out for the day (because if she's hanging around, I'd prob spend the day with her).
