buyers information: Pender Island Events - Canada Day Long Weekend June 27-July1 - 06/27/08 02:22 PM
It's here -- one of the busiest summer weekends here on Pender. The ferry lineups are long, it's hard to find a parking space down at the Driftwood Centre, and the grocery store will run out of bread by Sunday afternoon. But, all is well...most residents are happy to share Pender's wealth with our summertime visitors. After all, the quiet winter months are not far away, and there will be lots of time for winter walks in the woods with no one else around, and long evenings spent around the woodstove reading and playing cards.
But enough about winter. You're here … (1 comments)

buyers information: Protect Your Land and Reduce Your Taxes - 02/28/08 02:03 PM
Southern Gulf Islands, British Columbia
British Columbia's Gulf Islands and Sunshine Coast communities are drawing more and more people who want a piece of the stunning physical beauty, gentle climate, and rural charm. Steadily increasing demand for land in these areas is resulting in higher property values and taxes. More development also means more pressure on sensitive island ecosystems that are frequently home to rare and endangered species.
The Natural Area Protection Tax Exemption Program (NAPTEP) is a property tax incentive program designed to encourage landowners to protect the natural features of their land. Launched by the Islands Trust and the Islands Trust … (0 comments)

buyers information: Quality of Life Good for British Columbians - 02/19/08 11:40 AM
GOOD NEWS!
If you are considering relocating to BC from another part of the county or world, here's another good reason to make the move:
A recent study concludes that a high majority of British Columbians are happy with their quality of life. According to the Ipsos Reid Study published this month, 92% of British Columbians rate the quality of life in their community as "very good" or "good".
Those living on Vancouver Island (which includes our beautiful Pender Island!) are most likely to rate their quality of life favourably (95% "very good/good".)
A detailed summary of the report is available at http://www.qualityoflife.bcrea.bc.ca/2007Topline.pdf

Another one of my random photos from my Pender Island/African Photos page. Here we have the Pender Island Highlanders performing for the Canada Day celebration. In the background you will also see our island RCMP officer dressed in full regalia for the occasion.
It is so great to live in a small community like the one here on Pender. Celebrations like Canada Day take on a whole different meaning when you gather with a group of friends to take some time off and enjoy each others' company -- rather than running off to the mall to get some shopping in on a … (0 comments)
