This is the last in a series of Meet and Greets organized by the Cortes Island Climate Action Network that has also included meetings with Green Party candidate Jessica Wegg and Liberal candidate Jennifer Lash. Conservative candiate Aaron Gunn was also invited, but has not taken advantage of this. As I am going to be off island when Tanille is here, we had an interview ahead of time.

“Eco Warriors” — A Story of Resistance and Reverence

2 Comments

Jennifer Pickford will be showing her documentary ECO Warriors at Mansons Hall on Tuesday April 22.

“Eco Warriors is about 12 years old. It’s one of my earlier works, but following on the footsteps of last year’s Earth Day screening of ‘Sacred India, A Plastic Revolution,’ I wanted to show another film because I felt that not only is it still a relevant topic, but also it’s just nice to have that continuity of having an Earth Day screening here on Cortes Island.”

As long as the NDP and the Liberals are both running, neither party will get in,” she explained.

Cortes Island Elements In A Boat Theft Story

Leave a comment

There are some Cortes Island elements in the story of a boat stolen from Campbell River on Tuesday, April 8, 2025. 

Someone living in the Potlatch Road area of southern Cortes Island observed ‘big military type planes’ and some helicopters flying around the ocean that morning and thought it might be a Sea-Air Rescue excerise. He did not think about it again until reading about the incident on CHEK News.
