Editor:
This letter is one of appreciation to the District of Sechelt (where we lived) and the Coast generally after having lived there for the last eight years.
While we are off to Vancouver Island to be closer to family, we will greatly miss the people, the slower pace and the many life-fulfilling opportunities we have enjoyed.
We specifically want to mention the many people with whom we have become acquainted and the friendships we have formed: the churches we attended (Bethel Baptist, Crossroads Community and Calvary Chapel) were instrumental in welcoming and acclimatizing us to the Coast, and the places we worked (Mark’s, Raven’s Cry Theatre, and all the federal, provincial and municipal elections) and the volunteer opportunities (Claytons) were where we had occasion to get to know and have the pleasure of serving residents.
We shall miss the great people of Sechelt and trust that the Coast will continue to grow yet retain its charm and commitment to its proud history of progress under the leadership of the community and the shíshálh Nation.
Bill and Carolyn Norris, Shirley Maddocks, Nanaimo
