Dear Community,
Our cemeteries in Mansons Landing and Whaletown are in need of a small storage shed to conveniently house our maintenance and burial equipment—including a lawn mower, weed eater, perimeter boards, ropes, shovels, and a rake.
In partnership with the SCCA, we’re reaching out to ask for your support. If you have leftover building materials, here’s what we still need before we can get started in Mansons:
* Windows (2–3 feet wide and high)
* Sheathing plywood – ½ inch, up to 10 sheets
* Subfloor plywood – ⅝ inch, 3 sheets
* Metal roofing – approx. 200 sq. ft.
If you have any of these materials that you could donate or supply at a reduced cost, that would be amazing. Contact Margaret by email at margaretislanddeathcare.ca or by phone at 250-204-3709.
Huge thanks to those who already donated framing lumber, some cedar siding, a door, and pier blocks.
How lucky we are to live in such a beautiful and generous community.
