A Safety Reminder as We Age (& at any age)

To avoid trips and falls during the night please consider installing a night light in your hallways and above any staircases. As we age, our eyesight in the night may not be optimum. Getting up too quickly can lower the blood pressure for a few seconds. This can cause us to slip, trip, misstep and otherwise taunt fate for a fall. The night lights are inexpensive, and you can even find automatic ones that only light up as you approach.

St. Margaret's Cemetery

St. Margaret’s is in the process of mapping a portion of the cemetery in preparation for a proposed addition of a natural burial and memorial woodland component in the cemetery. Please be cautious and do not disturb the surveying tape and markers. We will be attending to this mapping over the next week or two.

Recent polls have identified that many cemeteries in North America are committing at least 50% of their land to be used as natural burial sites. The trend is a result of many people today requesting a more ecological disposition of their remains upon death.

What is a natural burial you might wonder? A natural burial is when human remains are buried in such a way as to cause the least amount of impact to the environment. A body will be wrapped in a bio degradable shroud, sometimes placed in a biodegradable container but not always. The remains are buried at a shallower depth, which allows for natural organic decomposition. In most cases, the gravesite is planted with native trees or shrubs. The look of a natural burial cemetery over time becomes more park-like as the trees mature, becoming lasting memorials to those buried there.

We are excited to be exploring this possibility for St. Margaret’s Cemetery. If you have questions please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Art Show in Duncan

Showing until the end of February, paintings by Thetis Island artist, Kjell Valestrand. Eight works are installed in the Forest Room of the Duncan Garage Café and Bakery.

Subject matter ranges from the purely abstract to scenes from dreamlike reminiscences of travels in Morocco.

I enjoyed it and recommend a visit to see for yourself.
