The live feed

The town crew’s tier work is complete: the District of Clearwater’s own calendar, Tourism Wells Gray’s festivals and events page, the Clearwater Library programme on LibCal, council meetings on CivicWeb and the community layer around the Sportsplex, the Legion and the ski hill were worked tier by tier (58 tiers) and merged into the town feed — 40 records at the town’s close on 3 November 2026. This page lists what is verified, labelled at the strength it earned. No placeholder events, no guessed programmes.

Verified fixtures

Each fixture below is carried once, from public sources checked in November 2026 — the seasonal calendar anchors, plus the District of Clearwater’s own Canada Day, verified against its 2026 edition. Programmes and exact arrangements are announced closer to each date, and labels here say how firm each date is:

From the town feed — dated listings

Folded in at the town’s close from the merged Clearwater feed, each carried once and labelled at the strength its source allows. The one date-only record (the Wells Gray Curling Club’s Ladies Bonspiel, last weekend of February 2027) is computed from the club’s own stated annual slot and flagged for re-verification when the club publishes its 2027 poster:

Reconciliation at town close — the tier fold-in, done

This page was built in the first hours of the town build, while the crew’s tier slices were still researching in parallel. At the town’s close (3 November 2026) the closer folded the landed tier fixtures into this page and the town feed, each carried once, exactly as firmly as their sources allow: the library’s LibCal programme, council meetings from CivicWeb, curling at the Sportsplex, Simpcw community events, the Soup Kettle and the Legion’s Remembrance Day ceremony. Where a tier contradicted a fixture above, the organiser’s own record won and the fixture was corrected — the Remembrance Day fixture now carries the documented 10:45 am ceremony at the Reg Small Park Cenotaph.

The annual pattern — real, and awaiting published dates

Three of Clearwater’s signature fixtures are verified as patterns, with their next dates the organisers’ to publish — so all three are named as the annual rhythm, with no forward date asserted for any of them on this page. The Birchleg: the Wells Gray Outdoors Club’s cross-country ski day at the Candle Creek trails, where skiers in Viking dress re-enact the 13th-century Birkebeiner rescue of an infant Norwegian prince, with a Norwegian-style lunch and costume prizes — a Saturday in mid-February (the 2026 edition ran Saturday 14 February 2026 with about thirty skiers; the 2025 edition, Saturday 8 February). The Clearwater Farmer’s Market: Saturdays 9 am to noon, from the first weekend of May until Thanksgiving, on the Dutch Lake Community Centre field — its 2026 season ran Saturday 2 May to Saturday 10 October 2026 by that rule, and the market’s own page carries each new season. And the Clearwater Ski Hill season: not a date at all, but a snow condition — the volunteer hill opens when roughly 40 centimetres of base allows (the bunny hill opened 1 January 2026), and in a poor winter it may not open, as in 2022–23. When each organiser publishes, the fixture is staged here from the organiser’s own page as one canonical entry.

Planning around a fixture

Three fixtures shape a Clearwater year. Canada Day at Dutch Lake Beach (2027: Thursday 1 July) is the summer peak — the town’s birthday party on its own beach, in the middle of waterfall season. The Birchleg is the winter peak: mid-February, costume-deep, on the groomed trails the town skis all winter. And the market Saturdays are the week-to-week rhythm from May to Thanksgiving — the morning to plan a summer Saturday around. Between those poles, a public skate at the Sportsplex (Fridays and Sundays in season) and a meat draw at the Legion are the ordinary week, and the ordinary week here is worth having.
