Butt Out! No Please! No Thank You!

To the person or persons who feel it is okay to strew cigarette butts (more than 20 of them) along the west margin of Pilkey Point Road near the junction with Porlier Road.

Put simply, it is not okay. Not if they are tossed out of a car; nor if they are from person(s) doing some progressive smoking.
Several reasons not to do this: it is illegal; it is an extreme fire hazard; it is boorish!

Use your brains — should you have any!

Yoga Class Rescheduled

Hello Yogis,

Starting this week, I am officially changing Monday night yoga-on-the-lawn to Tuesdays for the rest of the summer!

Since the pub is closed on Tuesdays, Ryan can always be available to hang out with Henley so I won't have to juggle childcare!

See you tomorrow at 6pm for an all-levels class on the lawn at 297 Mission Road (accessed from North Cove).

Drone pilots:  if you unfortunately crash your drone out of your sight line in the woods and before you can recover it you see smoke, please don’t hesitate calling 911 immediately.
