Yesterday I attended graduation of a group of high school students from #Sunshinecoastbc who spent their spring break learning #firefighting skills. Story to come in @coastreporter.bsky.social

Enjoyed lunch at new Molly’s Reach by Black Bean in Gibsons. Love all the #Beachcombers photos. Food was great too. #explorebc @sunshinecoastbc.bsky.social

Ok, these tracks are just from a big raccoon, right? Also, I finally got to wear my new boots! #snow

I have no idea. And neither did the dog, though I think his coat was by North Face.

Came out of a store in Sechelt to see this. Felt like it was the start of a #Hallmark movie, just before the small-town farmer bumps into his ex who’s home from the city for the holidays but has a fiancé. #sunshinecoastbc

I’m a member of the media & I joined this platform to get away from the “media bad, listen to my podcast,” crowd, so I’m disappointed in this post & the response. Sigh. 😔

A double rainbow over #Sechelt this morning, before the winds pick up again this afternoon. #sunshinecoastbc (I sound like a meteorologist) 😁

It's so tough. I'm a bit of a newcomer here, but affordable housing is one thing I see missing from the mix. Nurse practitioners would really help, but again, high rents make it tough to attract them.

Saturday Cowrie Medical Clinic closed The Cowrie Medical Clinic’s Saturday walk-in clinic is no more.

Health care is very limited on the Sunshine Coast of BC, with many without doctors, so it was disturbing to read in our paper that the only clinic open on Saturdays is closing due to what I can only assume, reading between the lines, are anti-vaxxers.

An example of Acción Ortográfica Quito doing the Lord's work (graffiti on a wall corrected with red spray paint)

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

After the wind storm and before it started absolutely pouring rain, we had a brief respite here on the Sunshine Coast of BC.

Ok, got my photo issue figured out. Here’s a couple of photos of a visitor we had this past summer. Didn’t say much but seemed friendly enough. #bears

Anyone have a clue why I can’t post any photos? I checked my settings and that’s all good. Maybe turn my phone off and on? (Joking)

Hi all, I’m here but struggling to post a profile or background photo, but promise I am not a Russian bot. Hoping to have technical difficulties worked out shortly. Have almost 5,000 followers on that other site with same profile name so I am a real person. Nice to enter the light
