Following the announcement by Nicholas Simons that he won’t seek re-election in next year’s provincial election, the September issue of qathet Living takes a look at the announcement, and Nicholas’ history in the role. We also celebrate 50 years of Villa soccer, look at how climate change has been affecting local farmers, and how BC Ferries has been affecting local tourism. We profile a landlord who’s making a podcast about her experiences and expertise, and look at some historical characters who helped shape the community, including James Devlin and the McGuffies. There’s also a Q&A with artist Ron Bignell, strategies for tackling the employee shortage, more about Inland Lake, local business news, our events section, back to school info, and much more.
