The October issue of Powell River Living celebrates the appointment of Powell River defenceman Jack Long as the captain of the Powell River Kings hockey team. It’s just the second time a local player has worn the “C”. Also, journalist Pieta Woolley tackles the mystery of gas prices, and we take a look at the holes in the public transport system. The issue also contains a Q&A with the candidates for the Oct 21 federal election for the Powell River North Island riding. There’s a pile of pumpkin pursuits for people to participate in, including the new Powtown Pumpkin People Festival. All this and more, plus the region’s most curated events listings, are packed into the October issue. Read it via Issuu here. Or download the PDF here.
