Dear Editor,
What a moving celebration of Howe Sound last Sunday at the Gallery at Artisan Square. Whale in the Door: A Community Unites to Protect BC’s Howe Sound is about community coming together to shape a vision for the future, so it meant a lot to me that members of the Bowen Island community came together to celebrate the launch of my book. I am deeply grateful for the work of the Arts Council and the Library in supporting the event. Jacqueline and Tina you are vital contributors to our community. Thanks to Chris Corrigan, emcee extraordinaire, for his moving introduction, which meant I had to read from the book through tears of gratitude. Thanks to Shasta Martinuk, the world’s most musical drone (you had to be there) and Brenda Morrison and her daughter Anna for the yummiest whale cookies (you also had to be there). This was my eighth launch on Bowen and I’m always blown away by the generosity of my community. Thank you all.
Copies of Whale in the Door will soon be available at Phoenix, The Gallery, and the Library.
Pauline Le Bel
