Postponement of Nic’s Farewell

The Farewell Tea will be postponed for maybe a week. In Nic’s travels over the past week she caught a bug - and needs to get her energy back for a tea party.

I’ll post an update early next week.

Apologies to those who made treats already - maybe freeze them for a week?

Thank you, 

Georgina

Chimney Sweep

Hello, we are looking to have our chimney cleaned and are wondering if there is anyone on island? 

Also wondering if anyone has someone they could recommend that comes to the island?

Thanks much, Rod and Carol

Puppy Play Date?

I have a 10-month-old half-St. Bernard, half-Newfoundland ten puppy with all up-to-date vaccinations and am looking for a LARGE dog friend for her to play with. She is a gangly and enthusiastic 85 lb. (At the moment) puppy who needs more socializing and boisterous play than our 12-yearold arthritic Labrador cares to handle. If you would like to see if Quiggley can be a fun play date with your rough and tumble pup, please contact me to set up a meet & greet play date.

Fire Permit Process and Response

Please understand that there is only one person (Veronica) handling the Fire Permit process and she cannot always respond immediately. 

Allow 24 to 48 hours for her to handle the process. 

The Province unexpectedly rescinded the outdoor burning bans in the Coastal Region late Tuesday afternoon. We are trying to keep on top of the volume of immediate requests in a timely manner. 

And significantly, for the next few days at least, the Venting Index for our area is poor and yard waste smoke producing fires wouldn’t be permitted anyway. 

Please be patient with us. Our hard-working Permit Process Person thanks you.
