Vandalism

Henry Green carving for cruise ship

RCMP Emergency building

 

An impressive accomplishment for volunteerism

Here 2 Councillors –Ken Cote (kibitzing) and Gordon Payne – painting for 2nd day in row

 

 

 

While most the action this weekend was on Third Avenue – some on Second too

Lots of help

 

Then there was the vandalism

First the Bank of Nova Scotia – then the next evening Ling The Tailor building windows broken – Bar crowd?

 

 

On cruise ship and native culture

Not sure if Henry Green carving fully appreciated by Cruise ship passengers --- some seem more interested in looking at local shops --- though numerous (especially younger people) did  stop and chat  or look for increased understanding of what they were seeing

 

 

 

Henry Green poster etc reminds observers that this is not a ‘Crest’ pole but a story pole

Pole (I am told) was carved originally for the local college – but some dispute over the crests

 

Remember the dispute with Museum ?

Henry Green is now doing his carving out at the Industrial park 220 Kaien Road—Site 5 – the web site is currently down but I am told it will be up soon

Remember the young girl who accompanied his Council presentation? She is now 11 and created object left

 

Make the Business Case

This was to be done in 2010 – but different projects completed like stand by power units etc

 

Tanks out of the ground and ‘remediation’

Two smaller tanks dug out earlier I was told – presumably these larger tanks with water etc – to flush out any residue oil/ fuels

 

 

Innovative Tricycle

I had to ask where the steering was—battery is in ‘back packs’ – the driver/ peddler said she was getting canvas/ tarpaulin to act as a hood from the weather etc
