WORK WEEKEND FUN!

We had a great work weekend with over 35 people in attendance between Friday and Sunday. Our old dock which was destroyed in winter storms was taken apart to be disposed of properly from a group of men from Port Alberni who worked tirelessly on the project (below):


Other main projects included the painting of Heneage doors and hallways, painting the benches outside, gardening and landscaping in and around Heneage, raking the leaves all over the site, burning the burn pile, painting interiors of cabins, and some upgrades to the Farside building. Thanks so much to all of the people who gave their time and energy into all the different projects around camp this last weekend. It was a fruitful time of fellowship and camp is looking very cared for because of the efforts donated this weekend.

  1. hello dear folks, my sister, jannie turner, died of a brain tumour (she had been battling it for the past 13 years) on the 4th of april. the 'celebration of her life' was held on april 16th here in victoria.

    i would have loved to have been on thetis island after such a painful ride and to work alongside you all from the 17th to the 19th. what good work you all have done!

    a friend of mine, frances, from de roche, b.c., came over to be with me and my sorrow on the 16th and stayed the week-end.

    next year i hope to join you all.

    and i hope to see some of you at the women's retreat this week-end if all goes according to hoyle.

    sincerely,
