Looking for Door and Window for Shed

Hi, I’m looking to buy an exterior door with the frame and a window that opens. Something at least 3’x3’ ish.
Both are for a shed so doesn’t have to be fancy.

Thanks much

"Kids Don’t Float Program" Over for Summer

The TIVFD/RCM-SAR PFD Loaner program for kids (aka Kids Don’t Float Station) is finished for the summer and was once again a great success. 

Those kids and parents using the beach area under the Community Dock, or just strolling down the dock to look at jellyfish and waves, were able to borrow life jackets for the little ones and make their outing much safer and less anxious. 

We will have the loaner PFDs available once again next year. 

Thanks to all who participated.

Sunday: Fire Danger Class Drops to High

The Fire Danger Class drops to HIGH on Sunday for this area. High Risk Activities such as chainsawing, mowing, chipping, milling etc. can restart in mornings but must cease by 1 pm and a two-hour fire watch posted.

Outdoor burning and solid fuel campfires are still banned by the Province until October 31st.

The long-range weather forecast is predicting a big change next weekend and we may be able to drop from HIGH to MODERATE then. But in the meantime, there is still not enough moisture in the forest fuels to slow down an ignition. Please continue to be fire safe.
