Message from the Mayor of Tuwanek
As the acting Mayor of the Tuwanek, I am pleased to extend a warm
welcome to prospective new residents and visitors to our small community.
Spring and Summer are my favourite times of the year as the cottages
are full of kids to play with and there is always someone to throw
me a stick at the Beach.
As many of you know I keep a busy schedule during the summer months so I thought you might find it useful if I let you know where I will be during an average day….
10 am – Get up, have breakfast, smell the coffee and make
my way down to the beach. Stop at Pete's for pats and see if Adrianna
is at her cottage.
10.45 am – Ensure mail delivery is on time in Tuwanek and thank nice postal lady for my daily biscuit and hugs.
11 am – 12.30 pm Greet the divers at the Tuwanek Spit and ensure everyone parks along side the road in the right spots so they are not blocking traffic and emergency vehicles from getting through. Thanks to the District of Sechelt for putting in a portable potty at the Tuwanek Spit….now if I could only open the door.
12.30pm Diver BBQ and Lunch at the Beach…a favourite pastime of mine.
1.00 pm – Greet Sea Kayakers and let them know for longer term parking they can park on the access road to Lamb Bay after they unload at the spit. Did we have lunch yet?
1.30pm -3.30 pm Cottage visitation, pats and cookies all around.
3.30 pm – 5.00 pm Afternoon Siesta and traffic monitoring. Remember the speed limit in Tuwanek is 30 KM or less and you need to be careful in the curves as there are children playing near the beaches.
5.00 pm- 7.00 pm – Must be time for dinner. Who said dogs only eat once per day. Must have been mistaken.
7.00-10.00 pm – Keep a sharp eye out for Raccoons and even the odd bear who comes down into Tuwanek. Please make sure you keep your garbage locked up tight and don’t put anything out until Garbage day. Remember if you are having seafood like crab, clams or oysters to dump your shells back in the ocean as that keeps the smell down and the bears away from your garbage enclosure.
10 pm – 11.00 pm …..one last evening stroll around
Tuwanek and maybe a cookie before bedtime. I’m bushed. Remember
after 10 pm is when I get my beauty sleep so please be respectful
of your neighbours and take the fun indoors as noise carries a long
way on the water.
Well, that’s about another average lazy summer day in Tuwanek. I am certain that you will find this a great place to live and will proudly call Tuwanek your home or home away from home.
If you are visiting, I hope you will remember your stay fondly and return soon.

PS: Remember to bring the Mayor a cookie. Did I tell you I love the cookies from Fuzzy Face?

The Mayor hard at Work in Tuwanek…
keeping our beaches clean and free of sticks
