Mad Park Art is here, an art space like no other. Three locals have come together to create an inclusive space for learning, fun and community. Join them for events or stop by with a project that you need help with or start something new. 

Summer celebrations, time to put them on your calendars. Now what has become a Harbour summertime tradition will return this year thanks to the generous Ken Mellquist. He has engaged Peter Van Deursen and his band again this summer to play on their dock. Tides are good on Saturday, July 19. Peter and his band will start at approximately 3 p.m. and play until 5 or a little later, weather and the band willing.  

There are heroes in our midst, the best first responders who rescued us in our frightening car accident. Trapped in our vehicle, our firefighters had us out in record time and with the ambulance angels cheering us on we walked up the hill. Thank you is not enough to say to Black Bill, Sam, Tony and the other firefighters and Alexis and her team. Dr Andrew in ER at the hospital and the team took excellent care of us. Namaste. Dilys and Steve.
