What is "sidrabene"

Sidrabene is a Latvian cottage and camp-grounds community located in Burlington, Ontario. It is most renowned for its annual children's summer camp and Jāņi ( St John's Day), a summer solstice celebration. The grounds contain numerous recreational facilities, sporting fields and playground equipment - the most notorious being the giant wooden hamster wheel, which has left many a skinned-knee and splintered finger throughout the years, and which remains a favorite within the park. The facilities host various sporting, musical and social events throughout the year. Sidrabene is an important cultural landmark for many Latvian-Canadians residing within the Hamilton and Halton regions. Hidden amongst Bronte Creek, one must turn onto a hidden driveway from Appleby line, down a winding dirt road to make way on to the property.
