HERO – Brenda at Family Services and Volunteer Drivers. You have been such a help driving me to appointments and around town. The service has been so kind, considerate and accommodating. Please know that your transportation service through the Better At Home program is greatly needed and appreciated by seniors with low income and who do not drive. – Marjorie Beer
HEROES – The staff on and around the second floor of New Horizons Care Facility are really heroes. We want to thank them and compliment them for how they perform their job. They treat the residents with respect and many of them care for the residents as if they were their own family members. It has been a difficult journey to see our parents loose their independence and have to move to a place unknown to them. Every effort seems to have been made to make sure they are cared for through medical intervention, comfort, social interaction with others, exercise, nutrition and just a stop in the hallway to say hello. Thank you for being the kind, caring and thoughtful people you are. – Betty & Brian Christensen

HEROES – Our sincere thanks to everyone who attended our Book Sale in Campbell River on APRIL 15 and 16 and for the huge amount of books we received. Special thanks to Claude, the Security Guard at the Tyee Plaza for all his assistance, to the owners of the Tyee Plaza for again allowing us to use their building and to the Campbell River Mirror for our advertising.

HEROES – I would like to express our gratitude to the Oyster River Salmon Enhancement Society, especially to Charlie and Leah. They have helped our school successfully raise hundreds of coho salmon fry over the years. We would not have been so successful without their commitment to the project. They regularly arrive at the school to check on the health of the aquarium tank, bringing in many heavy buckets of fresh Oyster River water. They also help our students learn about the local environment by giving little talks about salmon life cycles and about other river wildlife. The day we release the fry at Bear Creek Park is treated like a celebration and all the students feel proud they have played a part. I am sad that this wonderful partnership will end with the closure of our school. However, I know the members of the Society will keep up the great work they do to help maintain a thriving river environment. I thank them for recognizing the importance of directly involving children in that work. – Marion Waters, Principal, Oyster River Elementary
HEROES – All of you who donated to the Heart and Stroke this year. I made over my goal. I shall be retiring this year and must say thank-you for the last 30 or 40 yers of donations. Have a great summer. Take Care. God bless. – Bea Duquette
