I donated a hundred bucks just so I can say I bought an island 😉

[Nick Heath]

btw BC Marine Trails folk Paul Grey and John Kimantas paddled over on a nice October day and checked out possible landings and small areas for low-impact overnight stops. Let’s hope BC Parks Fdn can buy this island and BC Parks open it for respectful rec use!

So generous of you, Kapila. I donated $50 last week. I know that doesn’t count towards your challenge but this purchase will succeed. They are very close to their goal so the more of us kayakers that chip in the better.

Kapila,

Thank you so much for starting this. I have donated $100. All we need is $850 because donations are already matched. Come on skabcers. We can do this.

What a generous offer, Kapila! I had an inquiry just yesterday from a member who wanted to give some $ to the SKABC to pass along to BC Parks Fdn for this campaign, but I had to tell him it had already been completed, when SKABC contributed $1000 last month, but that individual donations are still strongly encouraged. His thought was that a donation from a club like ours carries more weight in the management decisions that will follow than an individual contribution, but I think that having multiple donors is even better- just let BCPF know it is coming from a kayaker!

South Island Sea Kayak Assn (SISKA) contributed $1300 by using funds that in other years would have been spent on their annual Christmas party. If you have friends in other clubs, like PIKA, maybe see if they could be persuaded to do likewise? I hear that a lobby group formed in Nanaimo Paddlers to squeeze some funds from that club, too.

Hi Mike!

Eva & Dermot here.

Super interested in the Nov 14th class, please count both of us in!

We even acquired balaclavas in the meantime, so we could try to turn our boats until they’ll turn no more… and still have our brains only half frozen 😉
