We've had a great response to the premium organic topsoil fundraiser for Nanaimo Track Club.

Thanks to everyone who has supported this endeavor. We have space for about 30-40 more bags and then we will have reached our max capacity of 300 bags.

Probably best to get your order in by Friday if you are still wanting some. The cost is $6 for a 40 lb bag delivered to your door.

Delivery is first week of May. To order, please contact Kelly via email at kelly_bannister@telus.net

Margaret's Cemetery Update

There has been another slumping of the bank down at the cemetery.

Until the bank has stabilized I am again asking the community and visitors to use caution when entering the cemetery.

Please avoid walking on the beach in front of the cemetery until we are able to take care of the problem trees.
