During the Hyack Festival, 12th New Westminster hosts Hyack Camp in Queens Park. This was established in 1988.
One of highlights wass firing rifles at the Sapperton Fish and Game Club rifle range under the Arenex in Queens Park. This is represented in the 1999 “target” badge. Unfortunately, the Arenex (which housed the gun range) collapsed in December 2016, so we can no longer do this.
The other highlight is the giant campfire in the baseball field which is represented in the 2003 badge. Groups from the lower mainland, interior BC, and Washington attend.
A number of the badges have references to Anvil Salute contained in them - from the uniforms of the officers of The Ancient and Honourable Hyack Anvil Battery to the anvils that are used to do the 21-shot salute, and as subtle as the playing card that is used to level the black powder charge. An interesting article on the Anvil Salute by Archie Miller can be found on page 19 of the March/April 2007 issue of Senior Living.
