 This year for the first time, I had the pleasure of putting together the Children’s Halloween Party for the Events Committee, which took place on Friday, October 24th. Mix together a little food, music, a pirate bouncy castle, spooky decorations with about 60 costumed children and you have yourself a party. There were the usual monsters, pirates (all of whom left their swords at home – thank you parents), piglet ballerinas, ladybug princesses, cowboys, lions and of course, the occasional brave parent who chose to dress up as well (thank you once again Michelle Ganske!).
A big thank you to “Mr. Halloween” himself, Don Reid who generously loaned us some of the spookiest ghouls from his collection. Another special mention to Ken Miskin who donated his beautifully illustrated cards to each child’s goodie bag. That was very thoughtful of you Ken and we do appreciate all of your community support. In addition we would like to thank our sponsors: Kevin O’Toole Prudential Sussex Realty& ReMax Dale Falconer Realty and Howe Sound Marine Ltd. Last but not least thank you to my super hard working event partner Stacey Butterworth and my friends Jo-Anne,Tanis and Nancy for helping with the set up and Kim, Shannon, Iva, Karina and everyone else who stayed late to help us clean up the millions of pieces of popcorn left on the hall floor!
Events like these are only possible with the efforts of a small group of people known as “The Events Committee”. Many people are scared off by the word“committee” for some reason. Who doesn’t like to sit around with their friends a few times a year in the evening, drink wine and plan parties? If this sounds like you, please email me at

. Many of us have been on the committee for 2 and some for 3 years, and it’s time we get some new blood in the group. It’s a lot of fun and not as much of a time commitment as many people imagine. It’s important to keep these events going, as it’s part of what makes Lions Bay our best-kept secret.

In April of this year (2008) 3 ladies from the village who had recently returned from a trip to Guatemala with Project H.A.N.D.S.decided that it would be a good idea to go for a hike around Lions Bay every Monday morning.They suggested that if anyone else wanted to join them they were very welcome and so the Monday Hikers became a part of village life.
There are now 40 people on the email list who receive the weekly Friday bulletin telling where the hike is planned for the following Monday.The hikes usually take anywhere between 2 and 4 hours and are a wonderful way to get to know other people in the village and to explore trails that you probably didn't even know existed.
On August 4th -B.C.Day, 26 people turned out,[the largest number to date], and even in pouring rain there are a few determined individuals who will always show up. One Monday lunchtime 6 of us stood on the summit of Mount Gardner on Bowen Island with the rain beating past us horizontally and the visibility reduced to about 25 yards It was very bracing, but when we sprawled out dripping wet on the B.C. Ferry everyone agreed that it had been a lot of fun.
If you would like to have your name added to the list of Monday hikers send me an email and we will send you the weekly bulletins. We plan to continue through the winter and snowshoe when the conditions are good enough.

By now you will have all noticed that our happy old pumpkin man has wandered off. I find it very hard to believe that he went of his own accord as he seemed so content the day before, as I planted 240 grape hyacinth bulbs at his side. The good news is I have managed to contact his younger brother who will fly in shortly.
To all of the Mums and Dads Thank you for the bulb support! To the lady who gave the grape hyacinths by mistake, I joined you, and between us it will be a splendid show contrasting with the yellow daffodils.
Many many thanks. Ken Miskin

On Saturday, September 6, 2008, a team of volunteers coordinated by Eric Fleury (Haley & Marina's dad) went out to clean Lions Bay Beach and Kelvin Grove Beach. This event was sponsored by the TD Great Canadian Cleanup and the Vancouvewr Aquarium. Thanks for the garbage bags, recycling bags and gloves, which were donated. Not to mention some great tshirts! ...con't
