Harbour Upgrade

Our small boat harbour, known as the North Harbour, is undergoing a major overhaul. All the pleasure boats had to be out of their berths by October 1st and there's now boats of all shapes and sizes parked in driveways, alleys and on lawns all over town. In the past week a lot has been done starting with the ripping and lifting of the old "fingers" onto barges to be hauled away. We will follow the progress.

TV Stars

We left Red Deer Wednesday, September 29th and after landing at Comox we drove to Victoria to keep a medical appointment on Friday. We stayed at the Inn at Laurel Point that has a gorgeous location on the banks of the Inner Harbour. On Thursday we saw a TV crew in the hotel lobby, along with a Chocolate Lab pup and his handler. We learned Cliff is the newest hotel employee who will have the job of greeting guests to the hotel as soon as he finishes his training. The TV folks were there to introduce him to the community. Of course, we didn't need much coaxing and Grandma was soon down on the floor scratching his ears and rubbing his belly while the cameras rolled. The tape aired on CHEK TV's Island 30 show this past Friday evening. Follow the link to CHEK. He is soooo cute!

Once you get the CHEK web site you'll see a button for Island 30. Click it choose October 1st to click to see the program where Helen appears with Cliff. That segment starts at 17:25 so you don't have to watch the whole 25 minute program. There should be an easier way, but there seems to be a faulty link on the CHEK site.
