Friday, June 21, 2019 at 10:04AM What does Forbes Hall mean to me?
Forbes Hall is our islands gathering place, a place that is open to everyone.
The hall provides many ways for islanders to participate and the activities reflect the interests of our diverse community. The open policy at Forbes Hall encourages creativity participation and generosity. Islanders can simply book the hall, plan an event, organize an activity, share a skill or lead a discussion. You don’t have to wait for a specific program to begin, you can start one yourself.
I loved the neighbour to neighbour series where anyone could offer to share something they thought was interesting or they were good at – so may different people, activities and ideas were shared with this series, it expanded our knowledge and we ended up knowing our community & one another even better.
I love that Forbes Hall has so much history; a remarkable number and variety of events have taken place there over the years, dinners, concerts, fundraisers, art auctions, weekly Soups On, exercise classes, private family events such as engagement parties, and yes, memorials (my parents included).
Forbes Hall is a place where you can meet your friends, meet new friends, engage in new activities, visit the library, and share a laugh.
Forbes Hall provides the space for many different island groups to meet, discuss, plan and as a result, the entire community benefits.
Our lives are all enriched by Forbes Hall.

Friday, June 21, 2019 at 9:34AM Friday, June 21, 2019 at 9:28AM The approx. 2 mm of precipitation Wednesday evening was just enough to keep us in HIGH Hazard. This means activities in and around the forest can still be performed but should be curtailed after 1 pm and a two-hour fire watch posted.
But we are definitely sliding upwards towards EXTREME Hazard. When we enter the first three days of EXTREME Hazard conditions period, all high Hazard activities must be completed before 11am and a mandatory fire watch posted for the following two hours.
After three days of EXTREME Hazard then all High Risk Activities must cease. This includes any activity where a metal blade could strike a rock and cause a spark. Lawn-mowing and chain-sawing are included in High Risk Activities. Using an electric or battery powered plastic-stringed weed eater is not a high risk activity.
Veronica keeps the TIVFD website as up to date as possible and the Hazard Board by the ferry is changed to reflect the conditions. Brush, grass and forest fires have been an almost daily occurrence in the Cowichan Valley this month and the Comox Valley north of us has already gone to a High Risk Activity Ban.
We urge you to get your outdoor chores completed sooner than later because the forecast is for a hotter, dryer summer than last year and dangerous fire behaviour conditions.
