Although investigations are still ongoing, by all accounts of Monday’s plane crash near Safeway, a pilot from Coquitlam, originally from Powell River, may have saved some local lives as his own ended.

I believe support for the Powell River Public Library referendum was a result of many voters not wanting a library at Willingdon Beach.

Powell River is an amazing place to live. We are fortunate to live in a place where first nations looked after the land and its animals for many centuries. If not for those dreary winter days, I would call Powell River paradise.

Whether it is the responsibility of building owner Seaboard Hotels, building manager American Investments (AI) or AI owner and Powell River Chamber of Commerce president Jack Barr himself, the former Inn at Westview needs to be dealt with immediately

Addressing noise pollution Powell River has a pollution problem.

It comes as no surprise that the opening date of Powell River Public Library’s new location will be delayed into 2017.
