What's new?
Duplex update: April 14, 2022
Wow, we’ve come a long way! Recently the metal siding was installed, flooring, appliances, and cabinets look wonderful, but we still have a list of essential items to complete before our target move-in date on June 1st. Here are some remaining tasks:
Outdoors:
Indoors:
We have some of Lasqueti’s finest tradespeople and laypeople already on board to complete some of these jobs, but new volunteers are needed! Volunteer with a buddy and enjoy good conversation while you work, or come on your own and connect with old and new friends.
Email healthcentre@lasqueti.ca for more information on volunteering, and Doane or Wendy will follow up to find out how you’d like to help. Home-baked treats and coffee are enjoyed by a friendly crew of volunteers on most workdays.
Due to the rapidly rising costs of construction materials, we are also seeking financial donations to ensure a successful completion, and allow our residents to move in on-schedule. E-transfers are appreciated at healthcentre@lasqueti.ca. Cheques can be mailed to LLRS, #1 China Cloud Bay Road, Lasqueti Island BC V0R2J0. All donations over $20 receive a tax receipt.
We are delighted to welcome two long-standing Lasquetians to make their comfortable homes in these units, built with such care and craftsmanship by our community. There are so many rewards for being part of providing safe and affordable housing – needed now more than ever.
