Condolences
Interlakers were saddened to learn of Eric Paddison’s Oct. 11 passing at the age of 80. A resident for over 50 years, Eric was well-known and liked. Deepest sympathy is extended to his partner, Lou; his family and many friends. His Celebration of Life is being held at ICC from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 5.
Interlakes suffered a huge loss on Oct. 9 when Jim Zailo passed away unexpectedly. Then president of Roe Lake & District Recreation Commission and Interlakes Community Centre Society, Jim was well-known, admired and loved. Always there to help out, Jim’s dedication to the community will be sadly and deeply missed. Sincere condolences are extended to his partner, Wendy; his family and myriad friends. A Celebration of Life will be held at ICC from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Friday, Nov. 17.
Breads Workshop
Interlakes Cattlebelles are hosting a basic “old-fashioned” Breads Workshop from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 4 at ICC. The cost is $40 for non-members, $30 for members, and includes lunch. Register with Pat at 250-706-7340, or Pam at 604-378-5929; and e-transfer to interlakescattlebelles@gmail.com
Fire Safety
Please ensure that your chimney is cleaned with the proper-sized brush made of the proper material—preferably by a registered “chimney sweep.” Some years back, a chimney fire occurred in a chimney that had just been cleaned—but it was not clean, due to the homeowner using an incorrect brush. Also check/replace all smoke alarm batteries.
