In the Community

Today I'm going to plot another X on the map of Bowen Island.

Bowen Island Community Recreation spring registration is now open. It's time to sign up for spring activities to keep everyone healthy, active and having fun.

Here is another chance to learn about the history of Snug Cove and to share your stories of our central village.

After so much wind, rain and cold, islanders will be cheered by the arrival of the season's crop of daffodils. You find them in Snug Cove, on the roadsides, and of course on the golf course.

For the second year in a row, the Bowen Island Community Foundation has decided to offer a major grant of $5,000 to a qualifying organization on the island.

Learn how to deck your walls, fences, pillars and pergolas with climbing, spreading and trailing plants.

March has sprung, and signs of spring abound. It's a great time to channel a resurgence of energy into a creative pursuit, and on Bowen there are many to chose from. Take a look in the recently circulated Community Recreation spring/summer brochure.

If you love the taste of beer but your partner prefers something sweet, there might be the perfect compromise waiting for you right here on Bowen Island.

Paul Defresne will hold a clinic at Evergreen Acres Riding Centre from March 23 to 25.

I imagine it's common for people to take for granted their idyllic childhoods, and have to leave that place before coming to understand their good fortune.
