Boat Ramp – House Moving – Dec. 2nd

Just to let anyone know that might be wanting to use the boat launch on the morning of Dec 2, 2022 that Nickel Bros. will be barging in our house that day, so we have to ask that no trailers be parked there that morning. 

I am really sorry for any inconvenience this might cause.

Planned Power Outage

BC Hydro is planning a power outage on THURSDAY, November 3rd as they take down several danger trees near the Recycling yard on Pilkey Point Road.  The trees will most likely take down the lines and there may be road delays. We do not yet know if only the Pilkey Point Road area will be affected or the whole island.  The information hasn’t been posted yet on Hydro’s planned outage website.  We know that the Pilkey side will be out at about 9:30 and they plan on leaving the island in the early afternoon.
