Investing In Our Collective Future

Now, while the winter rains are still topping up our aquifer is the time to get a cistern (or another cistern) connected to your rainwater harvest system to reduce your need for groundwater in the dry months of summer. Drip irrigation, and "sipper switch" timers are also a great way to reduce the chance of over pumping (ask Ernie). Moving towards native and drought tolerant outdoor plants is another way to save water.

Speaking of native plants; I am supporting the efforts of the forest defenders in the Walbran Valley trying to stop the logging of the less than 5% of giant ancient forests that still remain on Vancouver Island. One of the biggest ongoing needs is dry seasoned firewood. (a bit like coal to Newcastle I know) If you have a half a pickup load or more that you would like to donate, please contact me at dslade@telus.net or Wayne and Maureen at sunrisegrail@gmail.com Cash contributions are welcome here and the money goes to those on the front line.https://chuffed.org/project/156056-old-growth-mobile-education-station

Speaking of cash: If you are interested in trying to ensure that your investment dollars are working hard for you but NOT supporting environmentally damaging fossil fuel projects, weapons manufacturing, tobacco production or other harmful endeavours, please consider registering for this Socially Responsible Investing webinar happening on Thursday Feb.12 from 10:00 to 11:00am https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/56d9fee6-a50f-427d-b3bf-94ca5f8da15f@b6833b00-9e5e-4de5-872c-68b6855479ee

Islands Trust Update Regarding Howling Wolf

Update received January 30th:

Current update on the Howling Wolf Market: In order for a home occupation or business to operate on a residential lot on Thetis, it must be operated by a resident of the dwelling unit. The owner of the Howling Wolf Market is working on establishing a lawful dwelling on the lot and a resident operator.

Warren Dingman, Manager of Bylaw Compliance & Enforcement , will be at the meeting to answer questions, and provide whatever update that can be provided in an open meeting. His comments will be about the bylaw compliance and enforcement process, and that fact that the property owner is being given time to work on solutions for compliance.

Please note, the bylaw enforcement issue is not on the agenda for Tuesday February 3rd no decisions are about to be made. We have asked the Manager of Bylaw Compliance & Enforcement to attend the meeting because of the significant interest in this file. He is prepared to answer questions.

We are all hoping to resolve this in an amicable way so that the Market can continue. I know this is difficult for the Peggs, Market goers and the community at large.

Your socks…maybe not so much.
