Rain/Flood Erosion Prevention Workshop

A TIRRA community project (in collaboration with ThINC & landowner partners) is planned for the Lawrence Trail on Feb 18, at 9:00 a.m. This Low Impact Design (LID) workshop/work party (as used in the upland rain-garden remediation at the Cemetery) is required in order to prevent further erosion by mitigating overland flooding caused by extreme rain events. This is an opportunity for Islanders to learn about mitigation techniques and how they may apply these methods to their own properties.

This workday will be under the direction of Doug Fenton, an environmental mitigation specialist.

Further info forthcoming.

Costco Email Scam

Text Scam Not Affiliated with Costco

There is currently a text scam circulating that asks members to click on a link to claim their Capital One Costco Mastercard Cash Back reward. The text is a SCAM. The Capital One Costco Mastercard Cash Back reward will be mailed by Capital One to eligible cardholders mid-January 2022. No digital coupon will be distributed. Do not answer the text or click on the link as it is not from Costco or Capital One. 

There is also a text scam circulating that asks members to click on a link to claim their 2% Executive Member reward. The text is a SCAM. Costco does not send text messages with respect to the 2% Executive Reward. The 2% Executive Reward is mailed to our members. Do not answer the text or click on the link as it is not from Costco.

Consider filing a report with the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre (CAFC) by phone or online.  Phone: 1-888-495-8501
