Between the heat and the paper, we used up all our bird brains this week, but the good news is you can read the end result right here! 🐦‍⬛☀️
We've got answers to all of your recycling questions. As long as they're the ones we asked too... Then it's Summertime vibes, poetry, and a few reminders of what makes this island such a special place to call home.
Avert your gaze from page 3 if you're saving the Vital Signs spoilers for Monday... 👀🪺✍️

There's a lot of building going on around the island lately.

Roofs. Community. The future. Even the occasional Official Community Plan.

Around here, we call that nesting season. 🪺✍️

This week's paper is a little late because I accidentally spent 12 hours wondering whether the QI Thrift turtle is more stylish than me. Surely not... but then again, have you seen them in a doily? 😍 The investigation continues. 🐢🪺✍️

A sparktologist in a greenhouse, seniors making anti-landlord horror films, and a week of matched donations to help bring a doctor to Quadra — this week’s issue is full of people figuring out how to build a future together.

Consider our feathers fluffed!🪶🪶🪶
This week between a major healthcare announcement tied to Quadra’s doctor search, fresh OCP coverage, and so much island squawking, the paper hatched two extra pages.
At this point the nest situation is becoming difficult to explain. 🪺✍️

Fresh out of the nest and flying slightly sideways as usual. 😅

This week, the OCP is taking up the big branch: read the cover story first, then swoop into the meeting happening TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY MAY 13, with your feathers in order. 🪺✍️

Life had other plans this week. It was just the way. 😅
But we're winging our way across the island packed with Strathcona Gardens coverage, community happenings, and the usual flock of Quadra chaos... 🪺✍️

A local storyboard artist, island debates heating up, and a quiet reminder of worth tucked inside — this week’s issue is worth a proper perch. 🪺✍️

We’ve added two new pages to our website to directly address the Strathcona Gardens process and the proposed addition of Quadra Island to the service!

The first is a letter generator where you can read a condensed overview, review the sources, choose what matters to you and your household, and generate a letter to send directly to the Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs, Christine Boyle, and the Inspector of Municipalities. No data is collected.

The second page brings together all of our articles on the topic, along with a full list of source material.

This is part of an ongoing effort, and we will continue to update it as more information becomes available.

Carrier pigeons are off the hook this week. 🪺✍️

Quadra Island residents: send a sourced letter to Minister Christine Boyle and the Inspector of Municipalities about the Strathcona Gardens decision.
