Canada National Team player Joel Waterman, playing in 2017 for TSS Rovers, the club I co-own with more than 300 community owners. I want to tell about how I came to own part of a semi-pro soccer team, and how one of the men’s team players who played for us in 2017 is about to step on the field for Canada in the men’s World Cup.

George Zawadzki, photo from Bowen Island Undercurrent Every community has larger than life characters and it seems like the smaller the community the larger these characters loom. I live on a small island of just under 5000 people and last week, on November 16, we lost a lion-hearted beauty. George Zawadzki was probably the biggest man on Bowen Island.

This is our rainy season here on the west coast. By now we typically would have a fairly …

Dave Snowden has a new post up this week in which he gives us a situational snapshot about a big chunk of his body of work he has been developing for a number of years now.
