SPRING CLEANING?
SunLund By-The-Sea RV Park & Cabins was recently awarded a gold level rating by Green Tourism Canada. SunLund, the only gold level business on the Sunshine Coast, received this award following an extensive review of their recycling, cleaning, maintenance, and administrative practices which met Green Tourism Canada’s stringent requirements. “We are able to keep a lot of recyclables out of the landfill”, says Ann Snow, one of the owner/managers. The eco-friendly cleaning products, sustainably-harvested lumber used in building construction, green office products, locally sourced firewood, and even gift shop items offered by area artists and crafters helped them win.
New online directory
Powell River Connect is a new online directory of businesses, community groups and services, says Corey Matsumoto, owner of Core Media Group. Businesses can choose from three options: free listings, enhanced listings and the Local Logics Rewards program. Enhanced listings provide a longer listing description, as well as room for up to 12 photos, a YouTube video and a live updated open and close hours chart. The Local Logics Rewards Program is based on the three ideals of local sustainability. One, support local businesses and sustainable economic development. Two, support local organic agriculture for a safe, secure food supply and three, share ideas, knowledge and creativity. “We want to encourage people to
leave comments about a service they received or provide feedback,” he said. For more information, contact Corey at corey@powellriverconnect.com
Brainiacs are winners!
The Powell River Brain Injury Society won the Loonie Wars! After four years of taking a back seat to the Campbell River Brain Injury Society, The Brainiacs finally beat Campbell River and brought home the trophy. “We raised $1,300,” said Debbie Dee, Executive Director of the Powell River Brain Injury Society. The Loonie Wars is an ongoing annual event in its sixth year of raising funds for client programming. The Powell River Society won the trophy the first year but Campbell River had won it every year since. Congratulations Brainiacs!
Herring quiet this year
“There have been very few spawning reports on the Upper Sunshine Coast and no major ones like the ones two years ago or last year. Hopefully there is still time for a major spawning event in our area,” says Terry Brown, herring activist. On the protection front, Tla’amin Council passed a resolution opposing any commercial fishing for roe herring in Area 15. Other Powell Riverites wrote letters to the Prime Minister, Fisheries Minister, and Powell River City Council supporting the Tla’amin resolution. As a result, City Council wrote a letter to the federal and provincial governments, supporting Tla’amin’s position. Some locals are calling for a comprehensive herring recovery plan for the entire Salish Sea.
