Rural Observer (Juan de Fuca Rural Publications Society)

Marlene Barry — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 20:46:40 +0000

SECTION I: GENERAL INFORMATION

A group of Juan de Fuca residents has formed a non-profit society to launch a news and advertising publication for the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area to provide a forum for our rural communities to share news, exchange ideas and develop a sense of community. The publication will give businesses within and outside the electoral area an opportunity to promote their products and services and reach potential customers. We hope to provide current information about the region and its services for the many tourists who visit the area. Our goal is to protect, preserve and enhance rural life. The publication will rely on community members to share their interests and points of view through articles, correspondence and photographs. We welcome articles and letters reflecting the diverse interests of our member communities and expressing all points of view. The editorial committee reserves the right to edit for brevity, accuracy, clarity and taste. Though every reasonable precaution will be made to verify the accuracy of material submitted, the editorial committee assumes no responsibility for the content of published articles. The responsibility is that of the writers. References and descriptions of products or services are provided “as is” without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied. Submit your articles, pictures or comments to the Rural Observer.

Please support this important project. We invite you to volunteer and/or become a member of the society, which is open to all residents of the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area interested in an effective publication to serve our area. Send your name and contact information, along with $20 per person per year, to: 2617 Seaside Drive, Shirley, BC V9Z 1G7.

Juan de Fuca Forest Watch

JdF Forest Watch — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 22:40:02 +0000

SECTION I: GENERAL INFORMATION

As Juan de Fuca regional residents we share this in common:
We are gravely troubled by the staggering rate and volume of deforestation in our region. We believe that our forests are being grossly mismanaged, and that these lands which should represent our commons have been unjustly expropriated in the name of fast profit for industry shareholders, at the expense of ecological sustainability and what is literally the birthright ground for future generations.
Our vision is two-fold:

1. An outright moratorium on old-growth logging and 2. A consistent practice of sustainable forestry accountable to elected, regional representatives that fosters increased related employment.

To achieve these visions we will grow an active community of participation dedicated to reclaiming the intrinsic value of our forests.

In so doing we might also redirect our attitudes and imaginations to a more just and viable economy.
