Islands Trust Identifies Ferry Cuts as Top Threat to Island Economies

On December 3rd, Trust Council invited provincial, regional and local elected representatives, economic development commissions and chambers of commerce to discuss the health of island economies.  At that workshop, community leaders came to a clear consensus that ferry service cuts and rising ferry fares present the greatest threat to island economies.

Recycler Yard Baler Part Recovered ~

The missing baler part has been recovered.  Much appreciation goes to the e-spokes crew for keeping us all in touch with one another. 

Generally speaking, a huge amount of energy is saved in our community with this important communication link.

Many thanks,

What's Up at St. Margaret's?

Over the next few months you may be seeing some activity taking place down at the cemetery. We are into the early stages of planning the new portion  of land donated by Capernwray Torchbearers. This land is to be developed as cemetery space providing  interment options for the community well into the future.

In order to facilitate the Community Studio planners and the Board in coming up with the best plan, a general clean up of debris and blackberries was needed. A great thanks  goes out to those who volunteered to help with the task: Norm Kasting, Wendy and Glen Andison, Doreen Liley , Dave Steen, Vicki Walker, Myla and Steve Frankel, Pam Lee and Gurk Sarioglu. It was a beautiful fall day perfect for the work needing to be done. Laughter, song , chatter and chain saw all in full chorus made it a wonderful community work day.  

Please watch for more news regarding this new project for the cemetery after the new year.
