Check it out, and let me know what you think.
There’s not much else to report on my end, so here are some fun facts about Halfmoon Bay:
• Halfmoon Bay was once named Priestland Bay after the Priestland family, who settled in the area in 1899. Its present-day English name comes from the shape of the bay. (Yet, for some reason, our logo has always resembled a crescent moon, hmm....)
• Redrooffs Road got its name from the popular local resort, which once featured a cluster of cabins with red roofs. (What’s with the extra “f”? Hmm...)
• Halfmoon Bay, Sechelt, and Pender Harbour are all in Zone 9b, with higher average temperatures than the rest of the Sunshine Coast and most of Vancouver Island, primarily Zone 9a.
• In 1979, the owner of the land that is now Sargeant Bay Provincial Park unveiled a “Comprehensive Development Plan”: a three-storey, 73-unit condominium with a 175-boat marina, breakwater, tennis court and single-family housing on the upland side of Redrooffs Road. It wasn’t until 1990, thanks to the Sargeant Bay Society, that the Sargeant Bay wetland and upland forest area was officially dedicated as a class “A” provincial park by the Ministry of Lands, Parks and Housing.
