Marine and Small Engine Repairs

As many of you know I’ve been working on getting my Marine Mechanical Technician certification. I've just returned from my level 1 training at BCIT and I’ve got some time before going back to my apprentice position in Duncan.  

I’ve been fortunate enough to have a neighbour allow me to setup a workshop on their property to work on various projects. I expect I’ll have some free time if there are things in need of maintenance and repair. I also have my cargo trailer workshop which I can use to come to you if required. 

The best way to reach me is by email at travis@redrockmarine.ca, or if you don’t have email, you can leave a message on our home line at 250 416 0674 and I’ll get back to you.  

Thanks, 

Travis

Lawrence Valley Loop Trail

We held a small work party Thursday to put down breeze blocks in the wettest sections on the trail.  

Please note that you will need boots for the lowest section at this time and common sense dictates that you take care on the boardwalk portions when it is wet or frosty.  

And thank you to Ron Bannister for providing the blocks and to Bill Dickie for transporting them to where they were needed.  

We still need more blocks and if you have some to donate, we would be grateful.

Kudos and a Shout Out to First Responders

Shouting out a huge thank you to the men and women of the first responder crew who took such amazing care of me on New Year's Eve.

Your professional and effective care allowed me to arrive at hospital in the best condition possible, under the circumstances. My family and I sincerely appreciate your kindness and commitment, giving up your own time on that special evening.

Many thanks,
