More Details on the FAC/BCFerries Meeting October 16th

BC Ferries personnel and Penelakut FAC members will be arriving off the 3:35 PM Chemainus departure. Our plan is to start our meeting at 4:45 at the Thetis Island Marina Pub. We will have a working dinner beginning around 5 PM. I expect to be through our agenda items between 6:30 and 6:45 PM.

Extra Cranberries

Thanks to everyone who supported our school fundraiser by purchasing Yellowpoint cranberries! Due to a small ordering error, we ended up with 6 x1 kg bags left over.

But our mistake could be your good fortune! The cranberries are for sale for $8 per bag and they will be put in the freezer until sold. First come, first served. Please contact Kelly Bannister to purchase at kelly_bannister@telus.net

St. Margaret's Cemetery

The Board of St. Margaret’s Cemetery would like to advise the community of some renovations that will be happening in the cemetery over the next month or two.

Please be aware that there will be machines working in the cemetery area remediating a ditch along with other supporting work being done for this project.

This will result in a temporary disruption to the usual pathway.

Please contact Suzanne 250-246-9965 if you would like more information.
