With today’s Groupon to Big Lou’s Butcher Shop you can choose from the following options:

• For $85, you get a Sausage 101 class (a $175 value).
• For $85, you get a Basic Home Butchery class (a $175 value).
• For $99, you get a The Whole Hog class (a $200 value).

Inspired by Old World butcheries and bistros, Big Lou’s Butcher Shop satisfies discerning carnivores with a focus on fresh, sustainable, and local meats. Butchers introduce their carving know-how in small, group-focused, two-hour classes illuminating the art of butchery. After a 10-minute lecture, students in the Sausage 101 course learn how to break down prime cuts of pork, chicken, and beef before a send-off to the grinder. Sausage scholars then guide meat-prepping neophytes as they blend eight different flavour combinations, such as breakfast sausage, bratwurst, chorizo, and sun-dried-tomato links. Students finish their masterworks by snugly swaddling the mixture in fashionable casings and then depart with up to 8 pounds of sausage for at-home consumption or bronzing and trophy-case display.

In order to appease the dining-room gods, Basic Home Butchery starts with butchery’s humble roots, teaching participants how to convert simple butcher’s roasts, whole chickens, and secondary cuts into table-worthy meals. The Whole Hog class forms carving companions as participants work together to break down a full swine into its primary cuts. The hands-on instruction takes pork proteges through the process of conveying a pig from butcher’s table to store case, leaving students with 20 pounds of meat to take home or decoupage a chair with. Big Lou’s Butcher Shop purchases its meats fresh from local pork planters such as Sloping Hill and Polderside Farms.

Thompson River

With today’s Groupon: for $83, you get a paddle or power whitewater-rafting day trip on the Thompson River from Hyak River Rafting, based in Burnaby (up to a $166.75 value). On the day of their trip, water adventurers meet at 176 Trans Canada Highway in Lytton.

For more than 30 years, Hyak River Rafting’s licensed and certified guides have led rafting parties down the flumes of the Thompson River. During the 36-kilometre paddle excursion, boaters navigate both powerful waves and quiet stretches bound within the steep walls of the Black Canyon. Adventurers desiring horsepower can opt for the 5.5-hour power day trip, which follows the same route on the Thompson but occasionally levitates as it turns upstream to reconquer rapids dubbed Jaws of Death and Cutting Board. Each trip offers river conquistadors a refuelling shoreline lunch, as well as a refreshing hot shower at the end of the trip. Hyak outfits oar dunkers with all rafting gear, including sheet music for jaunty singalongs, and offers recommendations of things to bring for each expedition.

The Thompson paddling trips depart on July 9, 10, and then daily July 16–Sept 25 from the Lytton base at 10:30 a.m. Sunday–Friday and at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays. Through July 1, the power day trips depart on Saturdays at 11:30 a.m. From July 1 through September 3 , power day trips depart daily at 11:30 a.m.
