I am looking forward to the new facility to be completed and though it may come too late for my family, it will help many others in the future I hope there will be sufficient funds raised to make this a welcoming, state-of-the-art facility.

In June I returned to Delta for the first time in a quarter century to attend my 50th anniversary/grad 73 reunion.

I moved to Tsawwassen in 1964, just before Grade 4 at the then one floor Tsawwassen Elementary - later Cliff Drive.

Ours was the last class in both North and South Delta that had to bus into Ladner for their grades 11 and 12 Many of those returning had been in school with me since Grade 4; one of those, Malcolm Johnson, I had been with in every grade since, and he took on the task with a handful of others to make our twoday event a fun return for so many.

Some attendees had come from across Canada for the event and Janice, our homecoming Queen, came all the way from the land of Oz

The committee that put together a delightful evening at both the Rose and Crown and the main event in Beach Grove, deserve a hearty thanks for all their efforts.

Making this even more special, given the 50 years between, was that our teachers, Mr. Wartnow (95) and Mr Rasmussen (88) showed up for us and I know many appreciated them as influences in school and through life

The Boundary Bay Air Show has come and gone with much success along with possibly the largest crowd I’ve ever seen attend!

A couple things of note however

More food venders are needed for such a large crowd as the lines were never ending and some extra signage further out on the perimeter of Delta boundaries, re parking directions.

Also, to charge $25 per carload of spectators is a great price for the days’ events, but, $25 for a motorcycle just isn’t fair! They take up the least amount of space!

All in all a great day.

My neighbour has been putting her wine, pop bottles and even her milk cartons out in her blue bin for our regular Monday garbage pickup. She recently found out that if she took them to the local recycling place near 56th and 12th and told them to add it to the existing Tsawwassen United Church account, that it would go directly to helping a refugee family What a great idea, and one we could all do.
