We See around Rupert

 

From 2008 Audit

 

 

Note the revenue from Chances – 400T$

I am told it was expected to earn City couple hundred thousand more when Casino idea ‘sold’ to community

(here Sept 07) etc

 

Note too the 350T from Province towards the Ferry dock

 

The Public Transit Grant for 2007 does not look correct – more later

 

 

Rushbrooke floats being paved

The photo from earlier in week --- presumably lines will be drawn and some drainage culverts put into the parking lot beside ramp to prevent runoff interfering with fish habitat

 

City violating By-law??

Sign meant for the tourists off the cruise ship – but somewhere there is a By-layw against putting signs in middle of sidewalk --- after it was pointed out staff put it back on ‘city property’ by stairs

 

The fellow on the ‘tractor’ at blue arrow was going around drilling several holes into base of every pole – testing for rot – then hole plugged up as at right --- presumably the poles ‘belong’ to BC Hydro

Are the utility poles ‘sound’

 

Garry Coons winds handily

Many thought it was going to be a closer race – especially with the Campbell Liberals putting in so much money into campaign (all those signs etc) CBC tally

 

Cruise ship in town

Serenade of the Seas – but was gone by 6PM

 

Biking to Work

So who paid for the signs? Looks like PR did

In image above Gordon-Payne has her bike helmet – and threatened to put Kinney on ‘Trailer’ to bring to the meeting last Monday

 

 

 

 

And the Dandelions are at their peak just now

Presumably dandelions ‘late’ because of cooler weather – compare with El Nino year 2005 as here) – but also in 2004

More later – but also note the apple and cherry trees are in full bloom locally too – while the ‘white flowers’ elderberry, ash etc – are just now opening – more later with links to previous years
