No heritage column today
If you’re expecting the second part of Ed Nicholson’s Heritage Week column, we apologize, but it will run in next week’s paper, not this week’s, as we had told you last week.
Help needed to keep the lights on
The Ladysmith Festival of Lights Society is looking for new members to help ensure the lights go on every November for Light Up.
The group meets once a month to plan and facilitate the annual event, which brings joy to adults and children alike from November to January.
From October on, meetings are twice a month as the excitement builds.
The next meeting will be the society’s annual general meeting, and it will take place Thursday, March 19 at 7 p.m.
For more information about how you can help, call 250-245-2263 or 250-245-5888.
Chamber AGM to focus on small business
The Chemainus and District Chamber of Commerce is getting ready to hold its annual general meeting Tuesday, March 3.
Guest speaker Cathy Robertson, general manager of Community Futures Cowichan, will discuss how Community Futures can help small businesses.
The board will also suggest bylaw amendments to help clarify the role of the executive and help make for smooth succession of officers.
The board is also seeking new directors, as two have recently stepped down to pursue other opportunities.
Contact Jeanne at chamber@chemainus.bc.ca if you are interested in learning more about becoming a director.
The AGM will take place at 6 p.m. at the Chemainus Senior’s Drop-In Centre, with social networking at 5:30 p.m.
