Glass artisan Carol Swann and carpenter/woodworker Chad Kerr recently completed installation of 3 fused glass tiles in the lobby of the new ER wing at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital. Carol’s glass tiles were created to create a focal point for the information desk and create a sense of calm in the waiting area. They are complemented by a custom frame created by Chad using book-matched Thetis Island grown and milled fir. Many Islanders are aware of this project and here are a couple of photos of the project.

Here is the three-part newspaper article that ran in the past few days in the Vancouver Sun. Craig McInnes is a business writer who had interviewed BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan last month. He also interviewed the provincial transportation Minister and some FAC Chairs. You can see in these articles he provides perspective on some of the issues involved in the coastal ferries system, including fares, service levels and government funding.
We are without landline phone service for the next week, and as well we are unable to access messages or use e-mail.
Please call our cell phones Tom 250-732-3091 or Gloria 250-732-0017.
As well, you may leave messages for us to call you, just phone Ann or Bill at 250-246-4079
Thanks!
