Father's Day Fishing
I trust all the fathers had a great day.
Steven and I spent most of the day at the Victoria Fish and Game Protective Association property.
We had opportunities to shoot rifles, pistols, shotguns and Steven had a chance to fish in the pond. He didn't catch a fish, however we saw four other fish caught while we were there.

New Marine Centre at Sidney
Last weekend I attended an Open House at the New Marine Centre located in the Sidney Pier Hotel & Spa. The Centre is situated on the ground floor of the Hotel with a great waterfront view. The Centre is empty at this time, however we were treated to a tour by Gabrielle Morris, Design Coordinator who shared the plans for the new facility. It will be an amazing facility with an educational focus, "Learn to Love Your Ocean" and will operate as an educational centre and aquarium. One display will show the life under the Pier with the water level in the display synchronized with the actual tide.
Looking forward to the opening in spring 2009.

A Week at Malibu Club
The Dining Hall and Pool
I spent the last week at Malibu Club instructing the staff so they could acquire their Transport Canada certificates to operate the Small Non-Pleasure Vessels. Six persons attained both the MED A3 and the Small Vessel Operator Proficiency certificates.Malibu Club is operated by Young Life and it is a tremendous facility. Originally a private lodge, it has been expanded and renovated with new construction underway.
Great people and a breathtaking location. The property is located overlooking Malibu Rapids at the entrance to Princess Louisa Inlet from Jervis Inlet.
