St. Margaret's Cemetery Maintenance - Sunday June 26th

On Sunday June 26th from 10-3, St. Margaret’s Cemetery Committee will be having its annual maintenance day. The cemetery is a vault of island history and is the permanent home for many of our forebears. From tidying up headstones, to general landscaping there will be a range of projects to suit everyone's interests and abilities. 

Please plan to come by and join us, all are welcome. If possible, please bring small garden tools for general landscaping and/or scrub brushes and water pails to clean grave markers. We would encourage you to bring a picnic lunch, where we will remember and celebrate the lives that came before us.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

July 1st Sail Past - on hold this year

Ahoy Islanders,

Due to the crazy fuel prices, I will not be spearheading the annual July 1st Sail Past this year.

As much as it pains me to forgo a fun island tradition, I hope this news comes as a financial relief to anyone planning to participate.

My apologies for the short notice.  I look forward to resuming this event next year!

Hopefully by then a second mortgage won’t be required to boat around the island.

Have a great Canada Day!

FireSmart BC Safety Message

Summer weather is just around the corner, and now is a good time to clean your roof and gutters. 

In the event of a wildfire, embers can be blown downwind and easily ignite dry leaves, needles, cones and other debris in gutters and on your roof. 

Now is the time to take action. You won’t have time to get prepared once fire is at your doorstep.

Post Box Change - update (yup, they keep on coming)

Hi Everyone, 

Here is my updated list of the latest stage. When you remove the hyphen from your post office box (14-8 moves to 148), you get your new number. 

If your number appears on the list below, you should be good to go. Meaning, that will be your new post office box number. 

If your number is not on the list, I’m working on those boxes now. Stay tuned.

Let me know if you see a problem below that I haven’t at michelleblack@hotmail.com or text at 250-715-8942 (mistakes happen, like yesterday when I missed a whole row). 

Thanks again, Michelle and Fred
