“MAKE IT HAPPEN!” – That’s the message the membership gave to the Board of Directors at the AGM. A motion was passed to do whatever site prep is needed for the first duplex and get started on the building. John Toelle offered to look at the site and the plans, and recommend a course of action.

Welcome to new directors Val Barr, Debra Gilliland and Jeannie Stoppard, and thanks to outgoing directors Carol Woods, Muriel Krook, and Rolf Kellerhals.

Val Barr is our new secretary.

It is felt that getting started on construction is the best way to convince Quadra Islanders that the project is real and that it will go ahead. Perhaps our philanthropists will then climb aboard and make the financing of the first duplex a reality.

There is nothing like pouring concrete and nailing up lumber to convince the unbelievers that senior’s housing needs will be met.

It is also hoped that getting started will convince BCHousing Corp. of our determination, an speed the granting process.

A BIG THANK-YOU TO Everyone who came out to the AGM – it was great meeting.
