The BC Day long weekend is approaching fast, and we expect to have an island full of visitors (we hope!) to enjoy a little fun in the sun here on Pender.  If you are planning to come over for a stay, please note that the ferries have been overloaded for the past few weekends, so please make sure to make a reservation if you ...

It's here -- one of the busiest summer weekends here on Pender.  The ferry lineups are long, it's hard to find a parking space down at the Driftwood Centre, and the grocery store will run out of bread by Sunday afternoon.  But, all is well...most residents are happy to share Pender's wealth with our summertime ...

Well, the weatherman says that the sun is coming...it's still a bit gray over here on Pender, but it's definitely warmer than yesterday.  Yesterday, we actually had a fire in our woodstove.  A fire in May! That's the first time I've been able to say that in the five years since we moved here.  Hardly a big deal ...

The sun, the sun, I see the sun!  The weather forecast is for sun through most of the weekend, so why not wander over to Pender and have a look?  Here's a list of some of the happenings we have going on this weekend: Thursday, May 87:30pm - Film Night at the Hall presents King Corn - Two recent college graduates plant a single acre ...

If you are planning a trip with your vehicle to Pender (or any of the Southern Gulf Islands for that matter) in the next few weeks, please be aware that the boat which regularly services our little piece of paradise, the Queen of Nanaimo, will be out of commission from May 3 to June 6 for her scheduled maintenance. The replacement vessel, ...

Welcome to May everyone!  It seems as though the weather gods think the new month is cause for celebration -- the Pender forecast is for sun and warmer temperatures right through the weekend (unless you count a bit of rain on Friday...which I choose not to count, as it disturbs my "right throught the weekend" assertion.)  ...

If the last 2 days are any indication, it appears as though "normal" spring weather patterns are reasserting themselves here on Pender.  Our mediterranean climate pretty much abandoned us for the past 2 weeks, but we're tough!  We can handle snow in April!  (As long as there's some promise of sun on the ...

What are you doing this weekend?  Why not make some plans for a last minute getaway to Pender this weekend?  The natural beauty will leave you refreshed and renewed! As you may know it is Earth Day this Saturday, so while you are here you can take some time to enjoy a walk on one of our many forest trails, or public access ...
