Joining them is Coastline, a string ensemble of B.C.’s top young musicians ranging from ages 14 to 21, coached and mentored by acclaimed fiddler Ivonne Hernandez. It’s the fiddle event of the season!

Streamkeepers are at it again with their monthly invasive plant removal event, the last Saturday of the month. It’s Malcolm Creek’s turn. Drive to bottom of Metcalfe Road, and look for the Beach Access sign. They will be near the bridge over Malcolm Creek on the path. Parking is limited, so best park on Lower Road and walk the short distance down Metcalfe. Bring gloves, eye protection, and clippers or loppers. Streamkeepers will provide tarps, rakes and garbage cans. A pickup or  trailer would be awesome! Email scstreamkeepers@gmail.com for more info.
