Feeling a bit of cabin fever? The Legion has many opportunities for a cure, getting out for good times and good food, safely. The popular Sunday brunch continues 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. with an added attraction of a mini meat draw noon to 2 p.m., with a draw every 15 minutes. Throughout the week The Legion is open for lunch and dinner Wednesday and Friday, lunch on Saturdays followed by the Meat Draw at 3 p.m. Friday night. Eddy Edrik, the funny talented Brit, entertains 6 to 9 p.m. More good news, more live music may be returning sometime in February. Folks, we are incredibly lucky to have a vibrant Legion in our community kept alive by a team of devoted, hardworking volunteers so come out, enjoy, and support this special place.
Thanks to Rotary funding through its 50/50 draw and others who donated towards the renovation of our public washrooms at the visitors centre. The work is underway. Please be advised that just one washroom is open at this time.

Thank you, my readers, and friends, especially those folks in Palm Springs for your heartwarming responses to last week’s column in honour of Betty White. Inspired by Betty, the animal rescue organizations miracle workers, my own furkids and your kind comments, I donated to 12 B.C. rescue organizations, including those here on the Coast. On what would have been Betty White’s 100th birthday, Jan. 17, the Betty White Challenge raised incredible amounts of money as people throughout Canada donated to those heroic crusaders of animal advocacy who provide life changing, lifesaving work for sweet souls in need. Best birthday celebration ever!
