The Haul for Paul, a community dump truck parade to honour the life and work of Paul Gaudet, will be held this Saturday, Oct. 16, starting at 11 a.m. from the Petro-Can in Garden Bay on to Madeira Park and then Francis Peninsula. Visit the Pender Harbour Blues Society Facebook page for great photos of Paul portraying some famous locals during happy times.
Continuing a tradition of the past several years, the Pender Harbour and Area residents Association (PHARA.ca) in concert with PH Hikers are organizing a Roadside Cleanup and Backwoods Trash Bash. Roadsides to be cleaned are Highway 101 from the Health Centre to Petro-Can. You will be provided with gloves, garbage bags, garbage tongs and safety vests (limited amounts of the last two items).
The Backwoods Trash Bash will focus on the back road dump sites in the Pender Harbour area. These “keeping our communities clean” events are consistent with one of the objectives of PHARA, which is “to help volunteers initiate and complete community improvement projects.”
Date: Oct. 16, Time: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Location: Lions Park. Be at Lions Park at 10 a.m. to register, pick up locations and supplies. The Rotary will be providing pizza for lunch after 1 p.m.
Special thanks to sponsors: Sunshine Coast Credit Union, IGA, Rona, Sunshine Coast Regional District, and Pender Harbour Rotary Club.
