The quiet town of Madeira Park is awakening!

You can order pet food for pickup from Amy’s Doggy Spa & Pet Food; and she is grooming too! Amy is now here in the heart of Madeira Park.

Bright news this week is the return of Harbourside Friendships. There will be small get togethers outside in the gardens behind the Community Hall, with the number of folks limited. For those who would like to join in, please call Marlene at 604-883-9900 to reserve a spot. Harbourside Friendships is a great way to get back to enjoying the company of others.
Pender Harbour has joined the Dear Coastal Neighbour Letter-Writing Campaign. The mailbox is at the Health Centre where letters can be dropped off to be distributed up and down the Coast. If you know someone who would benefit from receiving a letter, contact Marlene.
