Raise-a-Reader Collingwood Neighbourhood House needs your help (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Katty Mir, family services program manager at Collingwood Neighbourhood House, knows that getting children, especially those excitable three-year-olds, to sit in a circle and listen to a whole book is sometimes an impossible task. “They might sit, they might not, they might want to play,” said Mir. “But literacy isn’t just book reading. It is shapes and patterns, over and under, behind and around, circles and dots.” Circles and dots, not ABCs, became the foundation of an exuberant, colourful and
Raise-a-Reader funds a week of festivities in Campbell River (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At the Maritime Heritage Centre in Campbell River, literacy isn’t just about reading books. It’s about reading stars and horizons, navigating with a Sextant, or sometimes it’s just about getting around a museum. For more than a decade, the Raise-a-Reader campaign has funded a week of literacy-focused arts events in Campbell River. The funds, administered in partnership with DeCoda Literacy Solutions, a provincewide literacy group, support free activities built around National Family Literacy Day
North Shore hiker turns 90 on the Grouse Grind, gets kudos from the Sedins (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There are a few reasons Roger Sauvain does the Grouse Grind every day (yes, even in winter, but don’t tell the authorities). “It keeps me fit, healthy and very, very happy,” said Sauvain, who celebrated his 90th birthday by doing the Grind. His time isn’t quite as fast as it used to be: he averages between 75 and 90 minutes to polish off the 2½-kilometre climb. When he was 70, he could whip up the Grind in 45 minutes. It wasn’t unusual for him to multi-Grind, once doing seven climbs in nine hour
Woolly dog pelt returns to Coast Salish territory for the first time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
His name was Mutton. Although he died in 1859 at the tender age of 18 months, Mutton is a survivor who has returned to his ancestral territory to be studied, and welcomed with respect by Coast Salish artisans and community members. Mutton, a woolly dog, whose hair was used in Salish and Makah weaving, was the companion of naturalist and ethnographer George Gibbs, who worked on the Northwest Boundary Survey in the 19th century. Mutton’s pelt, the only surviving pelt of the woolly dog, is on loan
An expensive lesson: Port Moody family stung by the steep price of having car towed (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kevin Froese is not an activist. He’s just a father. But a tow truck, a steep bill, and a distressed daughter was a call to action. His daughter’s car was towed from TransLink’s Port Moody Park and Ride on Aug. 17, a lot managed by Impark. “She called her mom, upset,” said Froese. His 23-year-old daughter had a couple of unpaid parking infractions. “The tow was justified, and we don’t dispute that,” said Froese. Her car was being held at the Benjamin Towing impound lot in Port Coquitlam. But whe
