Every year the Dakota Ridge Winter Recreation Area gets better. Driven in large part by phenomenal support from the community through volunteer hours, the success of the Ridge is visible by the well-groomed trails, excellent …

One thing I love about our small community is that there are so many ways to get involved and contribute our time, talents and treasures for the betterment of each other.

Last night I had the opportunity to visit with the Sechelt Rotary evening club, and I was impressed with what they are doing, here and around the world... right down to the way they do their pass-the-glass end of meeting collection, with…

I'd like to tell our visiting race participants about local entertainment on Saturday night next weekend, does anyone have info on "what's happening"? I already know about the Bernie G show and the Film Fest and the SC Museum & Archives, anything else? I couldn't find much online. Thanks.

Looking for a few more folks to join our RACE CREW at the 34th annual April Fool's Run on Sunday April 3rd. It's a great way to be close to the excitement of race day if you're not actually running it. See the elite athletes up close, cheer for your friends, encourage the hardy souls at the back of the pack! It's a lot of fun, and you get a "Race Crew" t-shirt and a chance to win a draw prize (we have quite a few).

We have positions available for: course marshals, water station…

Wow - if you want a GREAT walk in the woods with your furry friend(s), take a trip up Sechelt Inlet Road to Hidden Grove Park.
