I Can Come Help You Weed...

My name is Athenia. My puppy Sparkles took my very special watch off the counter and chewed it up. My Mom said she will buy me another one, but I have to pay her back. My Mom thinks I'm really good at weeding so I would love to come and help you weed your flowers or garden. I charge $3.00 for 1 hour. I'm very friendly and a really hard worker. If you want to meet me, I will be volunteering on Community Day on Saturday at the TIES table. My Mom also said you can email her, and she will tell me about it. My Mom will come with me and stay in the car while I work.

I'm done school the end of next week and I can come work after that anytime.

Campfires Remain Restricted Here

Campfires will remain prohibited on Vancouver Island and most Gulf Islands – along with tiki and similar kind of torches and chimineas -- until October 31, 2023, or until the order is rescinded.

Category 2 and Category 3 fires will remain prohibited throughout the Coastal Fire Centre, and effective at noon Pacific Daylight Time on Wednesday, June 21, 2023, will also include the Haida Gwaii Resource District. This prohibition is being enacted to help prevent human caused wildfires and protect public safety and will be in place until Tuesday, October 31, 2023, or until the order is rescinded.

The Category 2 and Category 3 prohibition also restricts the following activities and equipment:

   Fireworks;

   Sky Lanterns;

   Burn Barrels or Burn Cages of any size or description;

   Binary Exploding Targets;

   Air curtain burners.

The use of outdoor stoves is not prohibited. As per the Wildfire Regulation, an outdoor stove is a CSA-rated or ULC-rated device used outdoors for cooking, heat or ambiance that burns charcoal briquettes, liquid fuel or gaseous fuel, and has a flame height that is less than 15 cm tall.

These prohibitions apply to all public and private land within the Coastal Fire Centre jurisdiction, unless specified otherwise in an enactment (e.g., in a local government bylaw). Always check with local government authorities to see if any other burning restrictions are in effect.

July 8th - Live Music at Forbes Hall

Reserve your seat now to see Danielle LP and Phil Albert live in concert at Forbes Hall on Saturday, July 8th!

A life-long musician with deep roots, Danielle charms audiences
with her easy banter, soaring vocals and guitar stylings. Based in Victoria BC, Danielle has strong roots as an acoustic singer-songwriter and is heavily influenced by Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, and Ani DiFranco.  

Bassist Phil Albert is a composer, researcher, and educator who has released ten records as a leader/co-leader, played on hundreds of recordings (including JUNO nominees), and performed over a thousand shows.

Together, Danielle and Phil plan to play an evening of classic songs from the golden age of the singer-songwriter. No doubt there will be a good amount of Joni Mitchell performed, as well as some originals and other well-known favourites.
Watch Danielle LP performing California Stars by Wilco

We are able to arrange a combined Tetanus and Shingles Vaccine Clinic at Forbes Hall, and for the Mobile Mammogram Service to visit. 

Both of these clinics rely on the number of people interested in making use of them.  

Please answer this brief survey if you would be interested in attending either of these clinics.

None of your personal information will be part of this survey, nor will your emails be kept.  This is the first step in arranging the clinics, you are not signing up for either of them at this time.
