Tsunami Drill

Port Renfrew was th efirst Island Community to test their new sunami alarms.
July 19th 2006 at 6pm, the Fire Dept. activated 2 new alarms situated at opposit ends of town. These alarms are triggered either manually or by Langford when there is the threat of a large wave hitting our tiny town.
Next up: Tsunami signage will be placed along highway 14 to warn visitors that they are entering a "Tsunami Zone".

Annual Polar Bear Swim

The annual New Year's Day polar bear swim is all set to take place once again!
The PRHSSS will provide hot chocolate and the PRVFD will take donations for their "Jaws of Life" fund in exchange for the fun of watching Fire Chief Dan Tennant plunge into the icy Pacific Ocean.
We are also collecting canned and non-perishable goods for the Sooke Transition House Society and you can bring your donations there or to the Rec. Center.
Here are some pictures from last year:

Oh christmas tree... Oh christmas tree....

Our tree will be here soon.
Thanks to Maurice Tremblay for providing us with another tree this year.
We will be inviting all the kids in Port Renfrew up to help us decorate it when it arrives, watch your mail for the invite!
