Spring 2016 Update

Message from the President

Dear Friends of the Princess,

I am writing you on a warm, Spring day that feels more like mid-summer, prompting thoughts of a return to our beloved Inlet. You will be pleased to hear that Ming will be there to greet us. Her assignment to the Park commenced May 1 and will continue through next October, thanks to your Society's renewed subsidy of the entailed costs.

To Parks B.C., Ming is their trusty resident Ranger. To our members and guests, she is our welcoming hostess and guide.

Last October, I wrote to you about our Society's intended four year collaboration with B.C. Parks to enhance the amenity and attraction of Princess Louisa Marine Park. The 2015 phase brought dock improvements and a new hiking trail and viewpoint reached from a landing behind MacDonald Island. On B.C. Parks' behalf, Ming undertakes a hands-on role in the planning and construction of these improvements.

The Society's Directors will be meeting shortly to finalize their proposals to B.C. Parks for 2016. I look forward to sharing with you details of an agreed programme. As always, the Society's continuing support of the Park is made possible by our kind donors. You are deeply appreciated.

With kind regards,

Bill Ireland

President
