I've always wondered, would a pair of Paramedic scissors work well for this situation? Possibly with a float attached.

They're designed to cut just about anything, and are set up so they don't cut skin (no sharp points, flat part to get under clothing)

Too bulky?

Hey Anne, Just wanted to pop in with my 2 cents on the internet. I looked at Xplornet's business plans, looks like the highest base plan is about $110/month for 100GB of data. Overage at $2/GB. I'm one of those people who can work remotely (as long as I have internet) and it would be of benefit to m...

Just to throw my 2 cents in, wife is a marine biologist. A) We shouldn't be building a treatment plant in the first place, source control is a far more effective method than treatment for the chemical contaminants. People that think feces is the problem are out of touch with biology. We literally fa...

Based on the current weather forecast, not so good. Cloudy and showers in tofino, partly cloudy in Port Alberni.

Someone should hook a kite to it as well.

Yea Orca's are smart, they disguise themselves in grey coats, flip their tail sideways and pretend to be sharks.

There is only a single record of an Orca attack on a Human in the wild, in 1972, and the guy didn't even die. Every headline around this has been for an Orca in captivity.

Um, I'm pretty sure the response from Andrew says they are going to continue...

In response to my support e-mail, from Andrew Weaver. Thank you very much for your email regarding the School-Based weather station network. The outpouring of support for the network from across Vancouver and the Gulf Islands has been overwhelming. Ed Wiebe and I are sincerely grateful for the time ...

I seriously think you can start kiting just by picking up from the beach after good days. Put them up as found and then use them after they go unclaimed for a month.

I don't know what to do with this information.

Oh, so the ones you sit on in the shower so you don't break a hip?

Poor Jessica is likely now having a bad day.

The Squamish fee includes, as mentioned, ACTUAL services. If the parks people ran a rescue jet ski(or two) all day and had launchers I could start agreeing with the financials. As far as I know, Nitnat doesn't even have a full time parks person, they just come around sometimes.
