In Search of Frozen Blackberries

Does anyone have blackberries in their freezer that they picked last season and never did anything with? I need some to finish a cider I am making. Could purchase or trade. 

Thanks!!

Mobile Phone Wanted

Looking for an old phone for a teen. If you've got a flip that works with a SIM, or working oldie in a drawer, I'll gratefully take it off your hands. 

Thank you.

Fire Hazard Reduced - Sunday

This lovely bit of rain is allowing the fire weather stations to report a drop in the Hazard Rating to MODERATE.  Which means on Sunday, June 29, we will not have restrictions on High Hazard Activities (chain sawing, mowing, milling, etc.) and you can work after 1 pm.

Still keep an eye on stray sparks, etc. and have extinguishing tools immediately available.

As posted previously, fireworks for July 1st are banned in our region, as are all outdoor fires excluding campfires with a permit.

BC Hydro Net Metering Change - Effect on Forbes Hall Solar Project

BC Hydro has just announced a change in the net metering rate structure which will be applied to recently installed solar projects, effective July 1st.

The Forbes Hall solar installation will be affected.

Since learning about the changes, the TICA Board has been analyzing the options offered by BC Hydro and will select the one that provides the most positive outcome.

Updates on solar panel performance and the effect of the rate changes will be reported after the end of the second quarter.

Exercise Balls at Forbes Hall

There is a clear bag with a few deflated exercise balls in the main storage area at Forbes Hall. The exercise group doesn’t know why they are there or who they belong to.

If anyone knows where they came from or who they may belong to, please contact me by noon today.

Thank you,

Found: Small Wrench

Small standard and wring wrench found on Pilkey Point Road near Jollity Farm. Would be annoying to have that missing from your set.

Message me on (250) 802-2418 if it’s yours.
