The Lamb Barbeque is a joyous celebration of Canada Day, centred around a traditionally prepared open fire barbequed lamb meal. Remember the ‘good old days?’ Our BBQ has an old-fashioned country fair flavour that kids and adults enjoy. Our community has hosted the Saturna Lamb Barbeque on an annual basis since 1950 when it began as a school picnic on the Campbell’s farm at Saturna Beach in celebration of our July 1 national holiday.
