We just posted a link to a website story about a hang glider rescue on Salt Spring yesterday (that occurred just as we were going to press). If the post is not showing up in our feed due to Meta's ban on sharing news, just go to the Gulf Islands Driftwood website to read it. 😉
And then bookmark our website and check it regularly, because we do add new stuff as things happen on the rock. gulfislandsdriftwood.com
Hopefully adding the website won't get this post censored . . . we shall see.
