Sunday, October 13, 2019 at 10:42AM Thank you for participating in Fire Prevention Week by cleaning your chimney, checking your smoke alarm batteries, making sure you have a family escape plan in place, and checking your dryer vents.
But we also want to thank you for your safety and vigilance during this past wildfire season. Because of your participation by not allowing fires to start, and by calling in smoke sightings to 911, we had only a few minor incidents that were dealt with swiftly.
We are in this together. We appreciate your help.

Can anyone give him a ride to the ferry in Victoria or Nanaimo that day? He works on Tuesday.
Thanks.

Sunday, October 13, 2019 at 10:38AM My uncle, Ron Hyatt, turns 98 years old on Thursday, October 17 and it would be lovely for him to receive some birthday wishes cards in the drop box.
Ron and Edith’s box number is 11-10.
I will gather any cards for him from the drop box at the post boxes and give them to him on Thursday.
Thanks,
Jeannine

Sunday, October 13, 2019 at 10:30AM Our cat, "Dudley", disappeared Tuesday Oct 8th from our home (on Pilkey Point Road between Clam Bay Road and Sunrise Point Road)
He's mostly orange with white belly & paws, and weighs just over 12 lbs. He's very friendly and has shown himself quite willing to walk over to a neighbour's house and invite himself in to explore, so we suspect someone may have though he was abandoned and taken him in.
If he's moved in with you or you have seen him in the past few days, please call us (250-984-3033) or email jthorn4242@gmail.com so we can retrieve him. We miss him.
Thanks, -- Virginia and Jonathan
