Community

Christmas is not really about the tree. It’s about the people that surround the tree – and “home” is wherever you feel loved.

Our annual salute to the extraordinary people who make our community a better place to live.

Local Heroes: Wanda & Wayne White helped construct the bridge on Island Lake.

Local Hero: Carl Cosack fought to save our land from quarry development.

Local Hero: Steve Brown, “tells real stories about real people”.

Local Hero: Harvey Kolodny, takes a quiet approach to changing the world.

Local Heroes: Lynda Lidwill, Wendy McDonald, Roseanne Rutledge, Judy Lomas and Jane Howard – ICU nurses.

Local Hero: Don Lobb has a remarkable ability to make dirt fascinating.

Local Hero: Mary Vervoort helps youth make choices.

Local Hero: Kasia Seydegart chairs the Bethell Hospice Foundation.

There is one stubborn neuron in this neighbourhood’s collective brain that will not die and it makes people refer to my house as The Old Currie Place.

Must sing, dance, read, play hockey and eat local food!
