For the first time since the Monday Hikers first started two years ago it seems that next Monday (March 1st) is a day where you can either go alone or wait till that other is ready!

Trudi, Herb and I will be away, so I suggest that those of you looking for someone to hike with meet in the parking lot by the school playing field at 9:00am Monday morning and wait for 5 minutes to see if anyone else shows up and then head up the Centennial Trail.

For the following three Mondays (March 8th, 15th, and 22nd.) Trudi will lead the hikes. She would like people to meet in the parking lot by the playing field and will then figure out where to go.

To finish off on the alone theme here is another one by Thoreau who spent a lot of time hanging out alone by Walden Pond:

 
The hiking notices will resume again on Friday, March 26th.

It's time once again to do some spring cleaning.  Pull out all of those well hidden treasures and book your table for only $10 to be a vendor at the Annual Lions Bay Garage Sale, which will take place on Saturday, March 27th from 10am - 2pm at the Village Hall.

Since the Village changed to a Friday semi-automated waste pick up system, bear resistant bins can now be placed at kerbside for pick up, but the clips need to be unhooked garbage morning.
 
Keep in my mind these bins are 'bear resistant' not bear-proof.   Of the 6,000 bins used in Port Moody for a year, 10 were accessed by bears.  The damaged bins were carried away to nearby wild areas so that the bear had plenty of time to get them open.  The most effective way to store these bins outside is to attach the handles to a permanent structure until garbage day.
 
The bins are $200. prepaid with tax and shipping to Lions Bay included.  Please contact Norma at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it by the end of February if you would like to be added to the spring 2010 bear resistant bin order list.   So far we have six residents on this bin order list.
 
Thank you,
Village of Lions Bay
