New Dance Class

Want to learn something new? 

Come and join me and learn a traditional Russian Gypsy Folk Dance. This lively dance is performed to a traditional Russian Gypsy song “Shatritsa”. It tells the story of a young girl living in a tent. As in most Russian dances, the dance starts slowly but increases in speed and intensity near the end of the song.

Wear a long, full, skirt and a comfortable top and be ready to move! 

Thursday evenings, February 18 – April 14. 7:30 – 9:00 at the Community Hall

Cost - $75.00 or $12.00 dropin -  No charge for dancers under 19.

Missing 6hp Evinrude Motor

I have been off-island for a month and have come back to discover that the motor off my sailboat has gone missing.  It is a 6hp Evinrude outboard motor.  My boat was stored in a secured location that has been posted as a “No Trespassing” area.  I have notified the RCMP of this incident and ask that if anyone has information leading to the return of my motor, I would greatly appreciate to hear from you.  Thank you.
