Let's enjoy the weather and wash some cars
After a treacherous winter, the SLCAM is looking forward to begin the summer activities with a carwash. The car wash is due to take place on the 5th of July at the Esso Station in the corner of Brunswick and St.Jean, Pointe Claire (Facing Fairview shopping center).
Last year, our carwash raised more than $200 in total. This year we are hoping to raise the bar and bring more people to the event.
Stay tuned for more details.
