It Could Happen Here...
We live in an active earthquake region. In fact, BC averages approximately 1,200 earthquakes per year. Most are too small to be felt, but an earthquake capable of causing structural damage is expected to occur somewhere in the province about once every decade. There is a one in three probability that a major, damaging earthquake will occur in the next 50 years. We never know when "the big one" may happen, but we know one will occur in our area—its just a matter of time.

SepticSmart Workshops
Gabriola Agi Hall
465 South Road
Gabriola Island
Thursday, October 16th 5:45-7:30 PM
The RDN offers free workshops on how to properly care for your residential septic system.
Topics include:
- Septic systems and how they work
- Septic system maintenance
- Tips to make your system last longer
Proper maintenance has a significant impact on how well your septic system works and how long it lasts. Your home is one of your most important investments. Taking care of your septic system is like an insurance policy on that investment.
Attend a workshop and learn how to protect the environment, your community's health and save money! Participants go home with a free SepticSmart Kit.
All information is general in nature and is not intended to be used as a substitute for appropriate professional advice.
Call 250-248-3252 or 1-888-828-2069 to pre-register for all workshops and reserve your spot.

Emergency Social Services Orientation
Category: RDN Community Event
Date: Oct 16, 2014
Time: 7:00 pm—8:00 pm
Location: North Cedar Fire Department
|
Local Volunteers Needed..!
In the southern Electoral Areas, the RDN has designated the Cedar Community Hall and the Cranberry Hall as emergency Reception Centers, where evacuees can go to receive short term (typically 72 hrs) assistance with basic needs. But a very critical element is missing...trained volunteers to operate the site when activated during an emergency.
When disaster strikes and a Reception Center is opened, the best possible and most invested volunteers come from right within that community. Cedar and Extension have distinct community identities and local residents who become ESS volunteers are optimal. Their familiar faces may be the ones that you see welcoming you at the door, handing you a cup of coffee, doing registration and referral for services and helping to streamline the recovery process.
How can I get involved..?
Attend an Information Session:
| The Information Session will be held at: |
North Cedar Fire Department
(2100 Yellow Pt. Rd.)
|
| on: |
October 16th, 2014 |
| Meeting will start at: |
7:00 pm—8:00 pm |
There are no special skills, talents or experience required to be a volunteer. Free online and group training sessions available.
