We're digging instagram these days and thought it would be fun to give a shout-out to some of the funnest local insta-feeds out there. So, here's our summer experiment, a follow Friday feature instagram account to take a peek at, kicking off today. If you have an instagram account, want to share your stuff, or … Continue reading Follow Friday: feature Instagram account of the week. Say hello to @pembyboa
I joined a book club. It's making me a kinder, smarter person, actually. Proof in this article that reveals recent scientific evidence that reading fiction increases empathy. Despite being a lifelong book nerd, I fell away from fiction for almost a decade. I think there's something about the pace, some fundamental slowing down required by … Continue reading #WellnessReads: Danielle Saul reviews All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven
So, here’s my problem. I went to the h’OMgrown Fest in Pemberton this weekend thinking I’d be able to spin a column out of a seminar — maybe bang out a listicle, offer up some bullet-point worthy wellness wisdom about yoga, family life, staying sane. Simple! How was I to know that I’d spend two … Continue reading Column: Plant Some Seeds

Polek shared something a little different this week - another perspective on wellness, of pro skiers Chad Sayers and Dana Flahr flexing their summer form on Clinging to the Edge at the Lillooet Edge crag.

Well, you don't have to imagine it. You can just show up. Meet at the covered bridge by Highway 99 on the Arn Canal (that's the … Continue reading Pemberton Community Weed Pull, Wed June 17, 3:30pm, Arn Canal
It can be tricky spreading the word about an upcoming event, and without a doubt, the most prime real estate (imagine a marriage proposal?!?) is the Village of Pemberton's sign at the roundabout. Demand is high (and that's even without marriage proposals or 40th birthday announcements), so the Village has adopted a slightly more rigorous … Continue reading How to secure your event’s Sign space at the downtown Pemberton roundabout
Have you seen Stewardship Pemberton's amazing interpretive signs for the Nature Centre garden? We got a sneak peek of the project and showcased it throughout April, if you care to skim back through the archives. Here's one more... Ocean Spray.
Happy report from our birding correspondent, John Tschopp: the Western Screech Owl, which was found at One Mile lake, is back out in the wilds again. With the help of Brenda Lloyd and others it spent some weeks at Owl Rehab in Delta. Last week it was found to be fit for release. It was … Continue reading Come count birds.
