NATIONAL ABORIGINAL DAY

Another gorgeous blue sky day!


The Opening Ceremonies were captivating.
Celebrating community is a heart warming and deeply satisfying way to start the day.



The West Coast Warriors Tee Pee was a focal point.
Storytelling, Drumming and Singing Workshops were all held here.


A canoe carved from one solid piece of wood.


Many representatives from different community groups attended.


As always, volunteers were the heart of all the activity.

There were great prizes in the raffle too.
I hope I won the silver bracelet!


Kids, families, elders, everyone enjoyed sharing the day.

BACK YARD BBQ PARTY!!

Our first lucky winner, her family & friends enjoyed great food, good weather and excellent prizes! Here Debbie was announcing our next winner to the world...was it you?

Eagle staff slaved away to make the afternoon a sucess!

Everyone needs a tattoo...on their eyelid?


Woody was starving to death, or at least that's what he kept telling me!

A small but very beautiful back yard.

Even Ryan had fun!

And look at how perfectly the BBQ fit on their back deck! Like it was meant to be.

Some serious eating going on. The food from Bean Around the World was delicious; steaks, pork chops, salads, fruit & artichoke appetizer that I had to tell myself strictly to leave some for the other people it was so irresistable.

We played our own version of Jepardy/Trivia and gave away over 50 prizes.

TIM HORTONS CAMP DAY

It was a beautiful blue sky day!


Volunteers had fun giving away prizes.
There was games, draw prizes, and the ever popular "Buy a Tent"!


As usual, The Eagle staff were in the thick of things.
I'm not sure if Steve should quit his day job though!


This yearly event raises money to help financially disadvantaged kids have a great camp experience. For an entire 24 hour period, all the money from every coffee sold at Tim's goes to the TH Children's Foundation.

For many children it is their first opportunity to try new activities, make new friends, gain a sense of independance & develop pride in their accomplishments and confidence in their abilities.

Developing leadership skills and gaining a positive view of the world will make all the difference to these kids as they face the challenges ahead of them in life.

All you have to do is buy a coffee. It has to be the easiest charity to support.

See you there next year!

BIKE TO WORK WEEK

It was a Great Success!!!

Thank You to everyone who volunteered & rode through the Celebration Stations!

A drizzly morning at 19th Wing, Comox.

Getting fueled up & re-hydrated!

I Hoss Gallery was a beautiful start to the day!

Wow those are some nice wheels!!

And tattoos!!!

OFF TO THE RACES

First day on the job!

I was sent on a scavenger hunt to get me familiar with the Valley. Fortunately, I am already on intimate terms with our lovely home turf and got to hang by the river for a little while.

What a sweet ride, Thanks!!

The Sid is one of my favourite places around the Valley. I haven't been in a play this year, maybe Courtenay Little Theatre's fall production will have a juicy part for me. I was Mindy, the lesbian Realtor in 5 Women Wearing the Same Dress last time I played with them.
