Septic Tank Pump Out

I’m looking for someone who wants to get their septic tank pumped out.

There are 2 of us on the list and we need at least one more in order to minimize the ferry cost.

Please call Coast Environmental Chemainus at 250-246-3216.

Thank you.

Nissan Fire Recall

Nissan is recalling over 450,000 vehicles worldwide because a brake fluid leak could cause them to catch fire.

Because of the fire risk, the company is urging owners to park the vehicles outdoors and away from structures if the antilock brake light comes on for more than 10 seconds. 

The recall, detailed in documents posted Friday by the U.S. government, covers the Nissan Murano SUV from 2015 through 2018, and Maxima sedans from 2016 through 2018. Also included are Infiniti QX60 and Nissan Pathfinder SUVs from 2017 through 2019. Most are in the U.S. and Canada.
