Lyndsay Wells: heading for cook-off contest in Toronto this July. The local resident won a spot with 16 others in The Real Women of Philadelphia national cooking competition. Her recipe for creamy pistachio and mango chutney pork tenderloin won her the honour.
Travis Martin: had a bright idea while attending an Earth Science class in VIU's Faculty of Management building. The bright young fellow observed that there was no need to keep the lights on, when the sunshine was providing enough natural illumination to do the job. His suggestion made him one of five to win the contest.
VIU Agreement: a two year agreement has now been accepted by the university and faculty association. The agreement was reached with the help of a special mediator Mark Brown. Too bad the students had to suffer the brunt of the unnecessary strike this spring.
Downtown Farmers Market: is open again on Fridays for the rest of the summer. This popular market offers a good selection of baked goods, home made jams and jellies, cookies to name just a few of the 'yummies' you can find there. They open at 10:00 am so the early birds get the best selection.
Museum: is enjoying a 17% increase in traffic in the first quarter of this year compared with the same period in 2010. The first cruise ship saw 600 visitors come to the museum in a single day. Sales at the souvenir shop are also up 34% for the same period. Have YOU seen the museum? If not --- why not??
Science Centre in Bowen Park?: city parks, rec and culture have endorsed a plan to investigate the possibility of making a science centre at Bowen Park.
