Hello,
Since November 2022 I’ve had the honour of representing the Discovery Islands and Mainland Inlets at the Strathcona Regional District Board. Representing Area C has been challenging & rewarding. I’m happy to share my intention to run for re-election this fall and I hope I can count on your support. General local elections are scheduled for October 17.

Getting to Know Quadra’s New Recycling Depot

Originally published in the Bird’s Eye
Quadra Island has a new recycling depot, and if you have not visited yet, it is worth taking a few minutes to get familiar with how it works.
The new Quadra Island Recycling Depot, located at 657 Industrial Way at the corner of West Road, has been years in the making. While the transition away from the recycling bins at Quathiaski Cove left some residents with questions, the new facility offers a much more comprehensive recycling system and a dedicated location where residents can sort a wider range of materials.
The depot operates as a one-way site, with vehicles entering from
Industrial Way and exiting onto West Road. Hours are Friday through
Monday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., including statutory holidays.
