Acadia Valley News, Jun 15

Reported by Yolanda Kuhn

As I sit down to write the news this week, I have my windows open for a change. It’s a much cooler and windy day today and it’s trying to rain … I sure hope we get some rain! Last night everyone’s phones were bombarded by constant weather alerts boasting tornado warnings! I’m not sure when what I consider to be a watch became a warning? There definitely was the possibility of tornadoes forming. The closest one was over an hour away. It seems to be shaping up to be a summer of storms and keeping our eyes on the sky.

Cooking with Roger Didychuk

Sorry I didn’t send the news in last week. I was away on a trip to Vancouver Island with my grandma to visit my niece. We had a lovely trip with great weather. If you happen to find yourself in the Campbell River area, I highly recommend Aboriginal Journey’s Whale watching tours. We were lucky enough to spot five humpback whales along with many varieties of birds, seals and sea lions.

The Big Sky Solar project has started to more crews in to get working on the local project. There are many crews staying in and around town for the project.
