Waiting for the Rain

We are (unusually) still in MODERATE fire hazard, according to BCWS data and weather stations. Cedar and parts of Saltspring Island continue to be in HIGH. We mention this because there is still a danger from your yard waste fires “getting away” if not constantly supervised and you haven’t got quick access to your required tools and water. 

Yard waste fires must be extinguished thoroughly by 4 pm or 2hours before sunset. Thanks for continuing to be fire safe.

Voting Reminder

I think that it is important to remind people to take their glasses. We voted the other day and there is a tiny oval circle you are supposed to fill in. You are behind a cardboard voting booth that blocks the lighting so it can be a bit of a challenge for anyone that has any vision issues.

Request for Item Pickup in Chemainus

Hello fellow Islanders, 

Unfortunately, I managed to leave something in the Chemainus Urgent care on Friday. If there is anybody who is going to Chemainus and back on Sat and would be willing to pick it up for me, please text me at 2506611349 and I can let you know the details, as well as notifying the Centre you are coming.

I can come and pick up from your location on island. 

Thanks for considering!
