Final Call for Those Without a Family GP

This is our third and final call to know how many islanders do not have a family doctor within reasonable reach at need. 

This does not include specialists, nor the fact that you can go to the local clinic for whoever is on call, or the Emergency.  It is purely to collect, for VIHA, a good estimate of the number of people on the island who are not registered with a family doctor.  This information will help us to apply for a regular visiting nurse at least, and possibly other medical services and equipment as well. We don't need any personal information, just the number of those in your household who are in this situation. 

Please check with anyone you know who may not have heard about this, and many thanks to those who have already responded!

(PS - again, please note, we are just using the above email address for responses - this has nothing to do with the covid clinic)

For Sale:

$15 Yardworks metal square sprinkler
Originally bought 2 new ones from Canadian tire, after testing them out, determined that I only need 1.

35ft square coverage pattern at optimal use.

If no one wants it I will take it back, but thought I’d see if I could save someone the trip across first.

Missing Parcel Key

I am missing one of the parcel keys with the blue tag on it. It has the number 6 on it. I am finding that many people after retrieving their package from the parcel boxes put the key back in their own mailbox.

The keys belong in the mail slots above or just to the top left of the box they got the package out of it. Could the key be returned as soon as possible. It has been missing since Thursday.

Thank you,

Mika Needs a Summer Home

Beautiful, sweet natured, 5 year old, orange tabby, named Mika needs a home this summer. 

She is a healthy indoor cat, who will venture out a few feet, but not much.  She has all her shots and just got a check up. 

I need a temporary loving home for her from June 19 (or 20) until September 3rd.  I can’t keep her where I am staying for the summer and would really appreciate someone to care for her for a few months. 

I will pay $250 a month. 

Please contact Karen for more details at 250-668-5665. 

Thanks so much!

BC Day Parade – Monday, August 2nd

It's never too early to start planning.  Let's have a parade!  Most will have had their second covid shot, the Province will have considerably eased up on the restrictions by then, it will be a warm summer day just right for fun and frivolity.  So put your creative hats on, plan your float or parade entry, or just plan on coming out to cheer.

Muster on Mission at 10am behind the fire trucks and kick off at 10:30. Route is down the hill, around Marina Drive past the boat ramp and back to Pilkey Point Road and up the hill again.  Finish at Forbes Hall.  Outdoor picnic tables will be there for those that really plan ahead for a picnic lunch.

Short and sweet, a great way to kick off August.  

You have two months to plan your float/entry.
