In the Community

A big thank you to all those Bowen Islanders who made Friday's Robbie Burns dinner at the Legion a big success. It was sea of plaid and smiles as we all paid tribute to Scotland's national poet. Robbie Burns holds great meaning to me.

On a cold November afternoon, I joined my son on the little bluff that juts precariously out to the sky below Dorman Point. The younger kids remained on the bigger bluff, and he needed a moment of peace.

The Caring Circle has had some major successes- from providing a health care services portal, health programming, a driver program and advocacy work to improve health services on Bowen.

Next Wednesday evening Ted Spear and Jennifer Henrichsen will give a talk at the Youth Centre on the changing nature of education. Spear holds Ph.D. in philosophy of education and is the Head of School at Island Pacific School.

On Saturday, January 24th Bowen in Transition will be hosting a “Fix-It-Fair” at Collins Hall between 11:00 and 3:00. Bring along your non-functioning small appliances and electronics, clothing, phones, bicycles etc.

Islander reports on adventure abroad

Bowen Island Veterinarian Alastair Westcott says the newest piece of equipment in his clinic is far more than an exciting new toy - it will make a critical difference in assisting animals in emergency situations.

On January 15th, an interesting group of people came to The Gallery for a discussion of Community as a philosophical concept, applied to Bowen Island.
