Halloween Switch Witch Offer

With having new kids on the island, I thought I’d share something I did with mine when they were little, and that I’m happy to also do for others: the Switch Witch.

Kids get so much candy on Hallowe’en and it can be overwhelming when you have littles. The Switch Witch takes their candy and switches it with a gift!

If you need a Switch Witch, please text me at +12504169771 so I can prep. You provide the gift, I can provide the (not scary) witch! And you can have your candy back later if you want it, lol. I’m available after 430pm on Halloween and November 1.

Island Health Influenza and COVID Vaccine Clinic – November 9th – Invitation Clarification

Invitations have been going out this past month to make appointments for the upcoming vaccination clinic in November.

Many islanders received an initial invitation to book their Influenza vaccine appointment that did not include an option to select the COVID vaccine.  

This week, a second invitation came out offering COVID and flu vaccines.  

NOTE: if you already booked your flu vaccine for November 9^th, you do not need to rebook. If you have already booked an appointment for your influenza vaccine and previously have received a COVID vaccination, you will automatically be offered a COVID Vaccine when you go for your influenza vaccine.  

Island Health has been informed of the confusion these second invitations are causing.

If you have other specific questions regarding your own vaccine or appointment, please call 1-833-838-2323.

Rockfish Conservation Area 17

It was noted in a previous posting on eSPOKES on October 21 that Preedy Harbour is in a "rockfish preserve". I was not aware of this until it was mentioned in the post about a possible aquaculture operation in the harbour.

In fact the whole of Preedy Harbour and much of the surrounding waters of Stuart Channel are well within the Rockfish Conservation Area 17, as outlined in the following link to a government of Canada website.
