September was Basic Education and Literary Month, and on September 23rd. after months of preproduction the PH Rotary Club, marked the occasion with the unavailing of their Storybook walk. The grand opening was held at 11am with cookies and juice for the children.
The Storybook Walk is intended to create opportunities for children and their families to read and stay active.














Truth and Reconciliation event on Friday, at Lions Park August 25th at 10:30 am.A informative and memorable presentation by Chief Craig Craigan (hiwus) to our Sunshine Coast Rotary Clubs, telling stories of early Pender Harbour.kalpilin Pender Harbour was the location of a winter village site of the the shishalh Nation. Judging by the wealth of archaeological evidence, the local population in 1800 was greater than it is now. The shishalh people were highly industrious during the summer months, fishing for salmon, hunting venison and gathering berries, all of which were dried for winter use. They built large dugout cedar canoes and huge communal longhouses (up to 800 feet in length) with separate family compartments divided by cedar screens.The name ḵalpilin is the shíshálh name for the location of present-day Pender Harbour. For the shíshálh, the place name ḵalpilin has been associated with the use of the region to shelter from the wind and rough seas; in winter.
Winters were a time to celebrate, and Pender Harbour was the gathering place for Nation. Dances and potlatches lasting weeks or months, spiritual coming-of-age rituals and performances by medicine men helped to pass the long cold months. A severe smallpox epidemic in 1862 nearly eliminated this thriving people, and the introduction of the residential school system was an attempt to destroy what was left of their culture.










Let’s welcome the new Board
Past President Jane Blaiklock gave a brief outline of her 2022/2023 year, successes and disappointments (which were few). Jane then handed the gavel over to President Sarah Johnston, who gave an overview of what she wishes to accomplish in 2023/2024.
The floor was then given to DG Shirley-Pat who installed the new Officers and Board of the club.












Dear Rotarians,
Thank you so much for your generous support of April Tools 2023! The sun was shining, the crowd was large and enthusiastic, all the paddleboards floated, and the teens proved themselves to be really good swimmers.Plus the little kids used up all 120 or so of their boat hullsand most of the odd pieces of wood to complete their creations!
After all the hard work involved in getting an event like April Tools together, it is truly heartwarming to see our community come together as sponsors, volunteers, participants and happy spectators. Thank you so much for providing the much appreciated BBQ and for sharing your profits with us. It is support like yours that allowed us to put on April Tools 2023. We think our 20th year was one of our best!
Sincerely,
Jackie Ordronneau for April Tools and the Pender Harbour Living Heritage Society
