Heritage hello & goodbye, bbq & birds

• Eric Jokinen the heritage engineer will be here Wednesday & Friday this week documenting material for a heritage inventory of the stages & stores. His report will be ready early-mid July, and will be available to everyone who wants to see it.

• Meanwhile, City issued 2 tender calls to demolish Critch's fishing premises. Demolition is currently underway. Image on 'photos' page. Certainly changes the look of the place. Tourism will have to change their posters.

• Community barbeque being talked about for July.

• There's a webcam taped onto binoculars trained on the seagull nest atop Jack's twinestore. Link is on the right side of this page.

Moratorium extended

On Monday, City Council complied with our request to extend their moratorium on Outer Battery demolition orders and major city construction until the end of July.
Unfortunately this doesn't apply to the Critch property which the city decided to exempt from the moratorium.  They have issued a 2nd tender call to demolish these 2 structures.

Inventory of fishing structures

The engineer Eric Jokinen confirmed today that he'll be starting his inventory mid-June and we should have his report in our hands by end of June.  For the record, the Province/Heritage Foundation is engaging him.
