Kids on Roads

Hi,

A few days ago I was driving on Pilkey Point Road just past Telegraph Harbour and saw a young girl ahead of me riding what looked to be a kind of Vespa. She had her helmet on and was keeping to a safe speed.

But then she veered over into the oncoming lane and continued for a minute, going over a few hills and around several blind corners.

Luckily no cars came along, and she eventually went back into her own lane, but I was concerned for her.

Maybe parents could remind their kids about safety on the road?

Thanks,

Kathy Allison

Need a Helping Nand?

Hi there!

My name is Ramita, and I am living on Thetis Island (came from Nepal in Feb) and I love it here! I am currently available to hire for a variety of household jobs and would love to help out. I am a dedicated, honest and hard worker and I have been working with several local families, and hoping to expand!

Anything from:

• Cleaning
• Weeding
• Laundry
• Cleaning home between guests or Airbnb rentals
• Child care
• Vegetarian Nepali Cooking (so delicious!)

If there's something not on the list, reach out and we can chat! I charge $25/hr, and I am often available on short notice. I ride my bike currently (so I am limited in range) but also offer a discount if rides are arranged - mutually beneficial!

Please email or text to connect - ramitaa16@gmail.com or 403-925-0102

I'm excited to meet you!
