We Wai Kai (Cape Mudge) First Nation Chief Ralph Dick has been found in breach of his
fiduciary duty after accepting a $12,000 share option from a business venture controlled by the band, an external investiga-tion has found.
The investigation, by Ratcliff
& Company LLP of North Van-couver, was requested by We Wai Kai Council after a review of computer files of former band accountant Maurice Magowan.
The report was delivered anon-
ymously to the Mirror this week. We Wai Kai Administrator
Brian Kelly said council is plan-ning to call a general membership meeting to share the findings of the report, but had not done so
yet as many members includ-ing some councillors are com-mercial fishermen and are away for the final days of the season.

J.R. RARDONCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
In what Conservative party campaign man-agers see as a troubling trend, campaign posters for their federal election candidates in mid- and north Island ridings have been defaced, destroyed or taken, while those of their federal election counterparts remain untouched.
I put up one of the signs at my house and they dumped it in Wood Creek, said Jamie Wood of Campbell River, who organized a sign-placing drive for North Island-Powell River candidate Laura Smith along the Old Island Highway through Area D south of town. I found out later it was happening in Nanaimo and all the way up the highway to Camp-bell River. Pretty well consistently the Conser-vatives signs are being slaughtered the whole way.
A volunteer answering the phones at the Nanimo headquarters of Conser-vative candidate Mark MacDonald confirmed Woods claim.
Weve definitely had a large amount of signs defaced, spray-painted with profanities, bro-ken or taken, she said. Were finding crews are just burning up their time repairing, replacing and picking up signs that have been damaged.
Nobody has been caught in the act, which can carry criminal penal-ties ranging from vandal-ism to mischief to theft. And members of the Conservative campaigns have offered varying the-ories as to who might be behind it.
But they are agreed on one point.
The NDP and Green signs right next to ours at the intersections arent being touched, said Glen McPherson, MacDonalds Nanaimo campaign man-ager. Its hard to believe its weather-related. Or that its a coincidence.
In Campbell River, Wood allowed that one or two of the smaller
signs might have blown over in last weekends storm. But he said the damage began showing up almost immediately after Smiths signs began going up a week earlier. Particularly targeted are the larger, heavier signs, which have been cut out of their sturdy two-by-four frames.
In some cases they took a knife and slashed them off, said Wood. We secure those on there with screws and washers; theyre not blowing away.
At the corner of South Island Highway and Jubi-lee Parkway, a support stands at the side of the road, with the screws still holding a strip of a Smith sign that was cut away. Just around the corner at the same intersection, a sign touting Liberal can-didate Peter Schwarzhoff stands untouched. Wood believes dirt-bikers who commonly ride near the beach may have caused some of the trouble. He
said several of the smaller signs that were flattened at the side of the road bore a single tread mark running over them.
Its criminal mischief and criminal theft if you take them and knock them down, he said. If its kids, they dont want to mess up the rest of their life by getting a record for something like this.
Section 325 of the Can-ada Elections Act states that, No person shall prevent or impair the transmission to the pub-lic of an election adver-tising message without
the consent of a person with authority to autho-rize its transmission.
McPherson promised there would be no retali-ation against the other candidates signs, at least not from any volunteers
working from MacDon-alds office.
Ive put out the word to all the volunteers in our campaign, Please dont touch anyones signs, he said. And they wouldnt, because theyre nice people.
Wood said hes seen this sort of activity in the past, and has noted that it usually flares up early in the campaign before set-tling down as the election draws closer. The federal election is scheduled for Oct. 19.
Hopefully nobodys gonna take down the other guys signs, he said. Or any more of ours.

Kelly said the $12,000 has been recovered from the Chief, and thats not an issue.
The Chief could be sanctioned by the band, under its Elect ion Code, through a peti-tion signed by at least 60 members. But it is an unprecedented pro-cess for the Nation.
Theres a process in there, Kelly said. Were finding out what that policy is, but it doesnt say what happens if you make a mistake, what to do about it.
Chief Dick could not be reached for com-ment at press time.
In his written inves-tigation report, John R. Rich wrote that one of the transactions dis-covered in the com-puter records involved an option for a num-bered company, whose directors were the Chief s wife and son, to purchase partner-ship agreements in the band-controlled Middle Point Harbour Limited Partnership.
Another transac-tion was a payment of $12,000 to the same numbered company.
These transactions appeared inconsistent with the usual business practices of MPHLP, and were not previ-ously known to the We Wai Kai administration or council, the report stated.
The $12,000 payment to the numbered com-pany was then trans-ferred to Chief Dick, who believed he was entitled to the $12,000 for services rendered to MPHLP.
The We Wai Kai hold 51 per cent of the part-nerships in the Middle Point Harbour Lim-ited Partnership, with Pacific Rim Harbour Developments (Tommy and Derek Pal lan)
owning the other 49 per cent. Chief Dick had been the We Wai Kai representative in the management of MPHLP when, in 2013, Magowan proposed there was an opportu-nity to acquire partner-ship units in MPHLP from Pacific Rim that would lead to a profit.
The Chief declined on the grounds it would be a conflict of interest, but suggested to Cowan that his son, Robbie Dick, might be interested in the oppor-tunity.
Robbie and Lynne Dick, the Chief s wife, then formed a num-bered company that entered into an option agreement to acquire partnership units in Pacific Rim.
At this point, the report states, the option has not been exercised and the num-bered company has made no profits.
But in February 2014, Chief Dick acting as representative of the We Wai Kai signed a res-olution of partnership to pay $12,000 each to Pacific Rim and to the numbered company of which the directors were his wife and son.
Richs investigation included an interview
with Kelly, who con-firmed Magowan had been terminated in the summer of 2014, in part because of his refusal to desist partici-pating in the affairs of MPHLP.
The report says a We Wai Kai band mem-ber initially raised the potential conflict of interest. Follow-ing Magowans depar-ture, We Wai Kai staff reviewed the hard drive of his computer and found a number of doc-uments they considered questionable.
Kelly confirmed nei-ther the option agree-ment nor the resolution authorizing the $12,000 payment to the num-bered company were brought before band council, and that band administration was unaware of either trans-action before gaining access to the hard drive.
In May, 2015 Rich interviewed Dick, who said he was unaware of the option until April 8, 2015, when he was provided a copy of the agreement by his son.
He did acknowledge signing the resolution authorizing the $12,000 payment, and further acknowledged the pay-ment was to come to him, an admission that
was backed by a bank statement provided to the investigator.
Chief Dick further expressed his belief that he was entitled to the money for services rendered, which he describes as lobbying, Rich wrote.
The Chief told Rich the money was routed throug h his s ons company for tax pur-poses, on the advice of Magowan.
In Richs summary, he determined Chief Dick breached his fiduciary duty to the band by accepting the $12,000 payment personally, and is obligated to pay that amount to the band.
If he does not do so, the Nation has a sound legal action to com-pel the payment, Rich wrote.
Rich further found the Chief in breach of the We Wai Kai Coun-cil Conflict of Interest policy.
That policy does not include provisions for sanctions, but under the Nations Election Code the breach does provide grounds for a petition, signed by at least 60 members, to be brought to seek his disqualification from holding his office.

The machines are tearing up the field, the new artifi-cial turf is on order and soon Campbell River will have a centrally-located all-weather field for various organizations to book for use.
It seems everyone in town falls into one of two camps on the whole affair.
The first is that this endeav-our is a waste of taxpayers money.
The $2.27-million proj-ect is seen by many as taking funds away from other, more urgently-needed projects, and that many people will see no benefit from the project.
The Waste of Money camp also cites the 2008 referendum which shot down councils plan to borrow $20 million for a variety of projects, one of which was the Robron field as proof that the community doesnt want this expense.
The other camp is the Hooray for infrastructure improvements and invest-ment in our childrens future! group.
This group is the people who
see the value in spending pub-lic money on recreation and outdoor activity opportunities.
They argue that outdoor team sports and recreation enhances the physical and mental health of our children, making this a worthwhile investment in the future.
I fall some-where in the middle of these t w o c a mp s , though I lean towards the latter group, I think.
I do believe that there are other things that the city needs to address, and that many of them should have come before the installation of this new sports facility.
I disagree, however, that the public voting against the city taking out a $20-million loan equates to the public say-ing $2.27 million shouldnt be spent on a sports facility
upgrade.I also disagree that people
who dont use the field itself will see no benefit from it.
Every time a sports team doesnt come to town, local res-taurants, hotels, grocery stores and other businesses lose out on that potential revenue.
I guess what Im saying is this:
Yes. There are i m p r o v e m e n t s that need to be made to our city.
Not everyone will agree what those are, or where
they should fall on the list of priorities, and thats great.
The world would be a bor-ing place if we all agreed all the time.
But why do we even have elected officials if we are just going to demand they ask us every time they want to spend public funds on things?
Mayor Andy Adams made the Robron Field project one
of the main pillars of his plat-form during the most recent municipal election.
Coun. Larry Samsons re-election platform was almost entirely advocating for more family-friendly activities and facilities, by my recollection.
Coun. Michele Babchuk pledged her support for the project if elected and won a seat on council in her first attempt with the second most votes of any candidate for council.
Dont we want our elected officials to do the things they say there were going to do when they asked us to vote for them?
I certainly do.If we dont like the decisions
they make on how to spend our money, we tell them that by voting them out next time we get the chance.
For now Ill wait and see how the new field works out before I rail against its instal-lation, because the people we elected to govern us said it was something they were going to do before we did so.

Robron field: benefit or blunder?
Our ViewOur View
It may appear that the winter rains are upon us. But, its not winter although it is almost the end of sum-mer. All summer long we have been basking in the sunshine, heading to the campgrounds and onto the water.
Along with this blissfully sunny summer there comes a huge price tag. The province has spent count-less millions on fighting fires, many of them human-caused. Not to forget the human cost through the loss of homes and animals. It is heart-breaking to hear the losses suffered by so many because of the actions of a few. No matter how many times you tell people to butt out safely, they dont.
Perhaps now with the rains, the fires will die down and the firefighters will get some respite. The rains are something to be appreciated right now, and the
sun will come out again and give us a spectacular autumn.
It is expected to be rainy for the next while with some sun predicted.
We are thankful for the rain, the trees and plants seem to be drinking in the moisture and the creeks and waterways are seeing some relief from the summer-long drought.
And drought it has been. We hope this is not a sign of things to come, but some say it is. The last thing we want is to be in a position like California is now. We need to be mindful of our water usage whether it is raining or not. It seems we cannot count on the snow pack as we have in years past because this dry climate may become the norm rather than the rare. The wet coast isnt so wet these days.
The weekend before school begins is supposed to be sunny with temperatures in the 20s.
It is usually a time when families go camping and traveling on the last long weekend of the summer. The campfire bans have been lifted in most areas, but cau-tion is still required.
Lets enjoy these days whether it is raining or not, because both sun and rain are needed. Be careful on the highways and bring everyone back safe.

Much needed rain in order
We say: Thankful for the rain in the midst of drought
n Re: Mikes Musings, August 28Mike Davies hits the mark when he states We, as
a society, dont put nearly enough effort into fund-ing programs and services and creating public policy
His use of the Band-Aid analogy in describing the present approach is exactly right and is exactly the opposite of what is needed to solve the social prob-lems that plague our society.
In April, the Campbell River City Council voted to endorse the establishment of a Social Policy Frame-work for the province.

PROCESSBriefly, a social policy framework is a tool that can be used to guide decision-making, set future directions, iden-tify important connec-tions and support the alignment of policy and practice. Its a blue print to be followed to build a sharing community.
In the fall, the Union of British Columbia Munic-ipalities convention sub-sequently endorsed a request for that same Social Policy Frame-work from the provin-cial government. To date the government has not acted on the recommen-dation of the mayors and councils of B.C. It is clear to me, and I assume to Mr. Davies, that pressure to have the provincial government formulate and adopt a social policy framework must come from the grass roots, from us. Campbell River and all communities deserve social policy that benefits all our citizens.

Homeless: solution must be grass rootsContinued from Pg. 6
Ill be 75-years-old this Christmas, and as long as I can remember, Canadians have been respected around the world.
I recall an air force friend of mine who was stationed in France some years ago, telling me how the Ameri-cans used to put little Canadian flags on their backpacks, because the Europeans held Canadi-ans in such high esteem.
We have a history of trustworthiness and fair play, something weve been pretty proud of.
I have six grandchil-dren, and as I look forward to what kind of country we may be leaving to them, Im concerned.
We dont expect to always agree with what our leaders do, but we have always, or perhaps until recently, expected them to be guided by Canadian values, and practice Canadian stan-dards of behaviour.
P r i m e M i n i s t e r Harper and his team, evidently hoping to gain an advantage from all their big money sup-porters and well stuffed war chest, pulled a fast one on the other par-ties, and dropped the writ earlier than usual...so much earlier, that it is predicted to cost us, (the Canadian taxpay-ers whose interests our government is supposed to protect), about $141 million dollars extra this time around.
We will evidently be paying, not just for the increased administra-tion costs of the elec-tion, but millions more in election expenditure reimbursements to the parties.
Imagine what those millions could have done for needy Cana-dians.
I saw Prime Minister Harper and his team on the news the other night, climbing onto their big airplane, as
one of the other par-ties was shown leaving in a bus. It saddens me, and I couldnt help but wonder if its possible for a party with such an obvious advantage in funding, to actually buy a federal election. It sure wouldnt be very Cana-dian.
I guess in this modern world, some folks will be laughing and con-gratulating the Conser-vative planning com-mittee for that early writ drop move.
It just makes me sad, and worried that by the next election or the one after that, Canadian val-ues of honesty and fair play could be a distant memory.
As we sit down to our dinner tonight, these politicians, these people that we have trusted to keep our country strong, have already begun to dismantle our public healthcare system, and to use Bill C-51 to legalize unprec-
edented powers of intrusion and confine-ment, on the pretense of protecting us.
We might not notice because we might be busy, listening to the news about how a Con-servative Senator (one of our trusted holders of the power of sober second thought in our government), is on trial for questionable finan-cial activities and breech of trust.
It seems there is an issue as well, regarding an apparent attempt at a coverup by the right hand of our prime min-ister.
This is a crucial elec-tion for our country. Our government has already begun abandon-ing its responsibility to adequately fund our public health in favour of a healthcare for profit policy. Privatiza-tion of our hospitals and seniors care facilities is already well underway. The Health Accord that
has historically guar-anteed provincial input regarding the funding for our healthcare has been abandoned by our Conservative gov-ernment. Adding in other cuts to the CBC, Canada Post,veterans, scientists, coast guard, environmental controls and Destination Canada etc., makes me wonder where all that money is going, and how much impact its loss has had on all of these crucial Canadian services.
Lets go to the polls in greater numbers than ever before, and when we do, lets remember that no country can stay strong if its government abandons responsibility for the health of its citi-zens, fails to protect us from theft and dishon-esty from within its own ranks, and places our all important trust in our government at risk.

Canadian values could be distant memory n L i g h t k e e p e r s prove invaluableRe: Kristens Com-ment (Lightkeepers prove their worth)
We were out on the water that day during a sail training course and listened to the dis-tress call and ultimately about the rescue on channel 16. Lightkeep-ers proved invaluable over time. While from a navigational point of view an argument can be made that light-keepers are no longer
needed, there is still much value in having lightkeepers on station. There is a reason why light houses are where they are. Often these are challenging waters and pose a risk to mari-ners. Having search and rescue capacity at a light house station only makes sense. There is a great book about the light houses on our coast called Keepers of the Light by Donald Graham.
-Christof Marti
n Shame on the Coast Guard
The fact that the lightkeeper had to swim in frigid waters ove r 3 0 0 me t re s because the CCG con-tinually takes away sta-tion boats that can be used for just this pur-pose.
What is wrong with our CCG buraucracy that they just cannot see the benefit that the Senate managed to relate so well in their
Report to Govt. in 2010.
What is wrong with these people! Congrat-ualtions to the light-keeper for his selfless deed in throwing him-self in the water to save two souls just because it was the right thing to do.
Shame on the Victo-ria base of CCG. Get that boat back on sta-tion!

KRISTEN DOUGLASCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Hydro crews from around the province including Campbell River have been help-ing the Lower Main-land recover from the largest power outage ever recorded in BC Hydros history.
Ted Olynyk, spokes-person for BC Hydro, said two Hydro workers from Campbell River
assisted with assess-ing the damage and with some repair work wreaked on the south coast by last Saturdays rain and wind storm.
Usually they send the crews to us , Olynyk said. It was nice to help them for a change. It was the least we could do.
BC Hydro estimates that 710,000 or 50 per cent of its 1.4 million
customers on Van-couver Island and the Lower Mainland lost power due to Saturdays windstorm which is believed to be the single largest outage event in BC Hydros history.
Olynyk said that at the peak of Saturdays storm, 135 customers in the Campbell River area lost power.
The Campbell River area was basical ly
spared the wrath of the storm, Olynyk said.
But not everyone was as fortunate.
Much of the Lower Mainland and on the Island, the Victoria and Cowichan areas, felt the brunt of the storm which triggered 1,800 trouble calls related to the event. Thats compared to the 2,000 trouble calls BC Hydro crews typically
respond to in the span of a month across the entire province.
As of 2 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, 3,500 Hydro customers, primar-ily in the Surrey and Coquitlam remained without power.
In addition to Camp-bell River, BC Hydro also called in person-nel from Kamloops, Vernon, Prince George, Smithers, Terrace, Wil-
liams Lake, Fort St. John, 100 Mile House, Courtenay, Nanaimo, Victoria, Port Alberni, Duncan and Qua-licum to assist with the outages. Restoration efforts, however, were made all the more dif-ficult due to the con-tinuing rain and wind. Hydro said saturated soil in certain areas has made it unsafe for
crews to bring in heavy equipment for repairs.
By the numbersn Peak number of
customers without power-400,000 n Number of cus-
tomers out after 24 hours-227,000n Number of cus-
tomers out after 72 hours-4,900n Number of dam-
aged circuits-25

MANAGING YOUR MONEY
Down payment downside
It may be that child of yours is getting married or that you simply want to pass along some of the wealth you have worked so hard to accumulate during your lifetime. Either way, you want to help them buy a home. So, your rst thought is to give your child money perhaps tens of thousands of dollars for the down payment on his or her new home. But there is a downside to giving your child cash for a down payment.
When your child marries, the assets brought to the marriage or acquired afterward usually become shareable so if your son or daughter later separates from their spouse, the cash down payment you provided is included in the total valuation of the house, which becomes a shared asset.
If you want to protect your funds, consider structuring
the transaction as a loan, not a gift. You can do this through a promissory note that includes and loan agreement and security, usually in the form of a mortgage on the home.
In many cases, your child will not be expected to make payments against the loan during your lifetime, but the amount of the loan can then be offset against the amount to be inherited by that child. And as long as the loan is in place, you will have a much stronger argument that those funds must be repaid before any remaining equity in the home is divided between spouses (or common-law couples, in some jurisdictions).
It is vital that this type of arrangement is properly documented and signed by all parties to minimize the possibility of someone denying the existence of the loan at a later date. If your child is not making regular payments of
interest and/or principal, it may also be necessary to refresh the loan from time to time to ensure it does not become statute-barred (that is, when a lent sum cannot be recovered by a creditor through legal action because of a time limit imposed by federal or provincial limitations acts).
Be sure to speak to a lawyer to be sure the funds will be treated as a loan and everything is documented. And to be sure your gift is in line with your nancial and estate plans, also discuss it with your professional advisor.1Information in this article is based on federal rules only.

PROCESS
This is a group of sea-soned performers who love to take their lis-teners back to the less complex days of great jazz standards.
Spiced with blues, country, latin and even some rock n roll, the
Silk Pajams are a must-see.
Accomplished vocal-ist Ann Johnstone is backed up by Danny Bereza on electric gui-tar and Ian Parsons on valve trombone.Pick your favourite beverage,
sit back and remember where you were and what you were doing when that song was at the top of the charts.
Drop in to the Coach-man between 1 and 4 p.m. on Sept. 20 to see the Silk Pajamas.
Kick back with the Silk Pajamas
The Silk Pajamas, who play the old jazz classics, will be at the Coach-man Pub Sept. 20.
The Philosophers Cafe series is back for another season.
The series kicks off next Wednesday, Sept. 9 in the community room at Berwick by the Sea from 7 to 8 p.m.
The discussion will centre around multicul-turalism and whether it has failed our country.
In 1971 Pierre Trudeau adopted multicultural-ism as official policy.
From that point on, Canada would recognize and respect that its soci-ety included diversity in languages, customs, religions, and more. In 1982, multiculturalism was recognized in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Immigrants could become Canadi-ans by integrating into our culture without abandoning their own. This stood in contrast to American assimilation (the melting pot).
The vision of cultures from around the world living in harmony is a
wonderful vision. But has the policy worked? Is there harmony or is there increased isolation between Canadians?
Stewart Goodings early work led to the multiculturalism policy, and then as director general for the secretary of state department, he
guided the implementa-tion of the policy.
More recently, he spent five years on the Board of MOSAIC, the immi-grant settlement organi-zation in Vancouver, so has followed the evolu-tion of multiculturalism over 40 years.
Goodings will speak
at next weeks Philoso-phers Cafe and lead a discussion on the past and future of multicul-turalism.
Mo d e r a t o r Pe t e r Schwarzhoff will then open the floor for what looks to be a very engag-ing topic for a lively dis-cussion at Philosophers Cafe.
Once a month a speaker will introduce a theme to the Caf, and then all who attend can join in respectful, non-partisan conversation, or just sit back and listen.
Participants are wel-come to propose topics and introduce them at future Cafs. Themes should be of broad inter-est and national signifi-cance, and have an ele-ment of controversy to them.
As with each Caf, Goodings will have just 10 minutes to introduce the topic, and then the floor is open for 50 min-utes of moderated dis-cussion.
Philosophers Cafe returns
The Campbell River Art Gallery invites the public to register for Abstract Painting with Mary Deveau, a paint-ing workshop designed to free your mind and just have fun with paint.
Abstract Painting with Mary Deveau will run Wednesdays, Sept.
23, Sept. 30, Oct. 7 and Oct. 21 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Campbell River Art Gallery studio. Deveau says the class is simply about painting, which includes creative mark making, abstract-ing forms, colour theory and more. A series of exercises will encourage
painting intuitively, let-ting go of outcome and being open to change and surprise. Partici-pants will be using tech-niques that will intro-duce spontaneity like painting to music, drip-ping, splattering, fling-ing and smearing all to free up the mind to make
non-objective art.The class costs $120
for Campbell River Art Gallery members and $140 for non-members. Space is limited, so dont delay in registering. For more information, con-tact the Art Gallery at 250-287-2261 or email [email protected]

MIKE DAVIESCAMPBELL RIVER MIRROR
Thanks to their recent grant f rom Camp-bell River Community Foundations, Volunteer Campbell River is cur-rently putting the finish-ing touches on a project theyve been thinking about for a long time.
What were doing is creating resource tem-plates and samples, says Louise Howes, executive director of Volunteer Campbell River.
Thanks to the $2,500 grant from Community Foundations, Volunteer Campbell River took their recent website redesign one step fur-ther in response to what they had been hearing from their membership.
The survey that we did showed that many organizations think this kind of thing would be helpful, Howes says, and they want to do whatever they can to make things easier for people, share their expertise in the non-profit sector and stream-line systems that can be complex at times for people without a back-ground in it.
Non-profits have change, she says. They have rotating boards, staff that comes and goes, and it seems a lot of the time, when some-one new comes in, they have great ideas, but its almost like theyre rein-venting the wheel over and over again.
The resource library will contain things like job descriptions, codes of ethics, board position responsibilities, and other standard forms and documents that can be customized by indi-vidual organizations to fit their purposes, but have a standardized structure.
It should save organi-zations time, help with board development, board policies, staff pol-icies and hours theres so many different things were pulling together for them.
One of the struggles with preparing such a database, Howes says, is just the nature of non-profits themselves.
Non-profits is such a huge compass its so diverse. There are so many types of organiza-tions and varying mis-sions and visions, she says, so to simplify the template for organiza-tional structure is dif-ficult.
Its hard to get a best
practice in place. We need to look at what weve done, and what other organizations need, and for some things we need mul-tiple examples of how things work, she says. Non-profits go from everything from two volunteers running an organization to some-one like the Canadian Cancer Society, who has a multi-million-dollar budget and lots of staff and volunteers.
Howes is hoping
the resource database should be ready around the end of September or early in October, but their attention has been pulled away from the project temporarily as they prepared for their upcoming annual volun-teer fair, which happens next weekend (Sept. 12) in Spirit Square.
Its for our member organizations to come network, build their networking stream, learn about other orga-nizations and what they
do, and for the public to come and find out what kind of resources are available to them within the community, Howes says.
Its also an opportunity for the public to directly interact with different organizations they may be interested in volun-teering with and find out a bit more about what they do and what
roles they need filled.For more information
on the resource data-base for non-profits or anything else you think Volunteer Campbell River can help you with, head over to volunteercr.ca, give them a call at 250-287-8111 or stop by their office on Alder Street in the Enterprise Centre (next to City Hall).

22nd ANNUAL SHOW n SHINE
www.nicruisers.ca
Its our 23rd Annual Show n Shine. We have a great day planned for the participants and spectators alike. . We expect many new entries an incredible line up of antiques, hot rods, muscle cars, race cars, sports cars, exotics and motorcycles definitely something for everyone. Campbell River has an abundance of really cool cars, and often the only time we really get to see them is at this show. Couple this with the participants who travel from far and wide to show there beautiful pieces of rolling art while experiencing our awesome scenery, and you have a weekend to remember.
We really want to encourage the younger crowd to participate, so a special Young Guns trophy will be awarded to an entry owned by someone under 30 years of age.
Our Saturday evening cruise is on again, but starts at 6:30pm this year. See the details in this pullout. Set up your lawn chairs and watch the cars cruise by. Our participants love to cruise and it gives us a chance to show off our great city to our visitors.
Once again we had generous support from the local business community. The Downtown BIA has organized a shopping tour for our participants. Campbell River businesses also donate door prizes that are given
to participants. Room for parking all these neat machines is courtesy the City of Campbell River, for Shoppers Row and Spirit Square, and Tyee Plaza for their parking area.
Our Top Pick trophies are award to the picks of the sponsors, our members, and we even have a RCMP Pick. We dont ju
