In the Community

Dave and Louise McIntosh have been an integral part of the community for over 30 years.

Sue Clarke’s commitment to community is perhaps best illustrated by her work for the Food Bank, which she helped to establish over 20 years ago.

Dr. Yvonne McSkimming has helped people and organizations all over the island. She is currently President of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 150 and continues to cook Friday dinners.

Peter King has shaped and impacted the Island for the better with his service. His Bowen Express bus has transformed the way Islanders commute; it is beyond just a business.

MacKinnon has been a nonstop contributor to the island since she moved here. She has helped with the food bank, acted as the President of the Rotary Club, and administered the Helping Hand Fund for residents in need with the BI Community Foundation.

Norma Dallas’ work warrants recognition for “Lifetime Achievement.” She has single-handedly developed and run, for over 30 years, the seaside corner of Bowen, including visitors’ first impressions and Bowen’s most interesting little shops.

The Bowen Island Museum and Archives is proud to recognize some of our Bowen neighbours who make such a difference to life on this island. How inadequate it is to choose only ten.

There’s something about spring on Bowen that makes the artist in us come alive.
