Saturday Trail Building Work Party

The Fairyslipper Forest Nature Reserve trail building workshop on Oct 19 was a great success with 30 enthusiastic participants. We had a lot of fun and made good progress on the trail.  

Our next work party is this Saturday (Nov 2) from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m.   New trail builders are welcome to join in even if you weren't able to attend the workshop.  

Meet on North Cove Rd by the gate to the Portal (254 North Cove Rd). Bring along sturdy footwear, water, a lunch and tools (rakes, shovels, clippers, loppers, folding handsaws). Stay as long as you can.  It's supposed to be a nice day.  Hope to see you there.

Capernwray Harbour's Running Club

Leanne Jeffrey and Ted Bieber are once again leading a Running Club for students from Capernwray Harbour.  It will happen on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6:00am.  Our first run will be Tuesday (October 29th). We will do our best to wear proper reflective clothing. 

If you happen to have extra reflective items (vests, arm bands, etc.) that you are not using, we would be happy to put them to use.

North Cove Road will be our usual route.

If anyone is interested in further details regarding our running programme, please contact Leanne at 250-533-9329 or ljeffrey@capernwray.ca   

Islanders are welcome to join.  We move gradually from walking to running - the Sooke River 10K run on April 5, 2020 is our goal.

There was evidence the intruder entered the ground floor basement possibly assuming no one was home.

This was distressing to the senior resident. Please be alerted to potential burglary or break-ins.

Thanks to Thetis Island Nature House

A big thank you to the Thetis Island Nature House for a fun filled morning out on the ocean looking for diving birds.

The day was stunning with blue skies and sunshine, calm waters,and Marcie's cookies.

Also thank you to Dan White our captain for the morning, and a thank you to Vicky Walker and Ann Eriksson for organising both the boat ride and the afternoon session with ornithologist James Clowater.

I highly recommend, if this event comes around again well worth being on board.

Fireworks

I'd like to make a request. If anyone is planning on setting off fireworks could you please post the night, time & how many will be set off?

Our dog cowers under our bed shaking for a fair length of time afterwards.

I'd like to take her for a drive getting her away from the noise.
