The October issue of qathet Living looks ahead at the coming labour shortage through an examination of the demographic statistics and conversations with qathet employers. There’s also a feature about wild weather events of the past, and a story about conditions for returning salmon. We’ll also introduce you to some fascinating folks including a world-renowned optician, a local farmer, a 55-year-old who just found her real dad, a llama-loving family that just returned to qathet, the owner of the local drycleaner, and many more. Several buildings in qathet are claimed to be haunted. Learn the stories behind these ghosts in Joëlle Sévigny’s Blast from the Past column. Fall time is also festival time in qathet. Check out this issue for info on the Powtown Pumpkin Festival, a Mushroom Festival and a Salmon Expo. Plus all our regular features on business, gardening, local events, and more.  Click in the box above to read the October edition via Issuu. Or click here to download the PDF version.
