A new “free market” has begun in the Gazebo Park behind the library on the last Sunday of each month from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Bring items to give away and help yourself to stuff other people bring. This is a wonderful experiment in an alternative, more sharing economy. Thanks to organizer Dana Wilson and the Roberts Creek Community Association for allowing us to use the space.

The Cliff Gilker tot slide is now open and ready for use at Cliff Gilker Park. Next time you are there on a hike have the kids try it out.

Area Sunshine Coast Regional District director Donna Shugar is taking a break from her “Gumboot Office” for July and August. Contact here directly at donna_shugar@hotmail.com if you have an issue of concern.

Enjoy our great summer, but do contact me if you have items to share via email gumbootconnectin@telus.net or call 604-885-2282.
