September meeting Full (and Full)
The agenda at our September meeting was perhaps one of the fullest…the combination of catching up from the summer and gearing up for fall.
The room was full too, with about 35 attendees. Thanks to MLA Doug Routley for racing up from Victoria to attend, to Councillor Fred Pattje for his wisdom and insight, and to RCMP Corporal Dave Laberge, whose updates are always interesting and appreciated.
September guest
s were Rob Lawrance, Environmental Planner, City of Nanaimo; and Pam Shaw – Chase River Estuary Committee.
Pam’s enthusiasm for the estuary was infectious and her stories were really great – did you know that fish weirs have been discovered in the estuary, some believed to be up to 1,000 years old?
