Missing: 6-quart Food Storage Container from Forbes Hall

We are missing a 6-quart Food Storage Container from Forbes Hall.

Its green lid is here, but we’d love to have the container returned. It would most likely stick out like a sore thumb in a household kitchen. 

If you have it, just leave it by the sink in the Beverage Station next time you’re at the hall. 

Many thanks,

Food Services

Vitals Monitoring Clinic – Wednesday, October 16th

This Wednesday, Community Paramedic, Vinh Pham, will hold his final Vitals Monitoring Clinic at Forbes Hall in the Care Station, coinciding with Soup’s On.

Stop by the Care Station this Wednesday to have your vital signs checked or to speak with Vinh, or just to say good-bye J. Vinh is moving to Vancouver to be with his wife who is attending school there.

This service is provided by BC Emergency Health Services through their Community Paramedicine program to all islanders, at no cost. We look forward to meeting Vinh’s replacement when it is announced.

Soup’s On – Quick Clean

The Soup’s On team of volunteers wants to encourage our lunch guests to help with a Quick Clean of dishes when possible.

A Quick Clean station will be set up at Soup’s On for dishes etc. There is signage with information at the station.

Basics are to scrape plates and bowls into the provided bowl and to drain cups and glasses into the provided pitcher, before putting tableware in the designated grey bus pans for dishwashing.

Thank you,
The Soup’s On Team

Forbes Hall: Power-Outage Volunteer Team is Building!

Thank-you to the 5 individuals who have offered to open the hall to islanders during power outages. Before this group meets to get organized, we’d really appreciate another person or two to join us.

These volunteers will be oriented in opening and closing the hall, and to the Beverage Station’s equipment and supply. Many of you already know these things due to your participation in events and activities.

There will be factors as to how long you could expect to be at the hall, such as length of the power outage or other commitments. Each shift could be 2-3 hours.

Once we have a team together these details can be sorted.

“Power Out” days at Forbes Hall are congenial with islanders dropping by to enjoy a warm space, with electricity, running water, WiFi, and hot beverages and snacks. A great place to do remote work, read, work on puzzles, play cards, or just visit by the fire.

Last year we saw anywhere from 20 – 60 people using the hall during a power outage. This year we want to be more organized; this is why we’re calling for volunteers.

If you can see yourself volunteering for this community work, please contactinfo@forbeshall.ca
