The park is coming together as Phase 2 has units arriving and being set up. It is with great interest we all gather to see what is happening there! Many have loved the newest outline of an off leash dog area...and we've all used what is currently available! My dog, Skipper, and Marjean's dog, Charlie, have a great time racing all over the place, though I have to put mine in a bath as soon as he gets home....sand and grit come into the house via dirty paws!!
The new outlines of the Park are including a grassy area and a woodsy area on the other side of the last pond. It is a very nice design and I look foreward to wandering around when the paths have a little more substance...eg: gravel! By the way, for anyone who asked me that is having trouble training their dog to walk closely to them ( especially when there are so many distractions!), the 2 pet stores in Duncan are stocking the head leash that is a wonderful alternative to hauling on choke chains or neck collars. They pull the HEAD instead of the neck to help your pet to follow YOU and not pull YOU where you'd rather not go! It is recommended by dog trainers and the cost is about $25.00. They come in all sizes. I've seen them and if my dog had a muzzle long enough I would have used them for training long ago. He is now used to a harness and usually obeys...but it is harmful to the throat of a dog to haul on their necks especially if they are strong.
3 new models have arrived at the far end of the Phase 2. The setup is quick and looks nice. Linda ( Cleft) has her hands full this year, and you couldn't ask for a better planner than she is. Whenever you see her, remember to encourage her. It is hard work and looks so pretty when done!
The 2 new units in the first area are almost beautiful! takes a bit of time, but it is nice to see the work being finished off.

On February 6th at 7:00 p.m. the ladies of the park are invited to attend an EPICURE TASTING PARTY, held by Lynn . She will present products that she uses in her cooking which have natural ingredients and are great for using in sauces and dips and daily in cooking in general. She will have samples to try out. These blends of herbs and spices are made right here on Vancouver Island and have no preservatives or "things you can't pronounce" ! Please come and make this a success for Lynn. Another great opportunity to socialize with your newer neighbors.
Lynn writes that there will be a draw for "honorary" host. This person will get the host Freebies....another great reason to attend.
Anyone who has paid GST on their site rental since 2012 ( and we are still paying it...about $20.00 a month) and were denied a rebate is supposed to file a Notice of Objection first with the CRA. I have the address if you are interested in doing so. This can include anyone living at the Park on a more-than-a-month basis.You cannot just download another application if you were already denied. You MUST file a Notice of Objection first and send it with a ATTENTION: Michelle MacDonald on the front. This is the case worker that understands what is going on.I am sorry if I misled some into thinking you could just reapply. You must first file the Notice of Objection. I just got off the phone to Michelle and she gave me these instructions.
Looks like sunshine is in the forecast though then it is also cold....oh, well half a dozen of one and the other is pretty nice weather anyway.
Hope yours is a happy month!
Leslie
