New firefighters come on force The Point Roberts fire department will lose four seasoned volunteer firefighters in 2021 but has hired five new recruits to follow in their footsteps. “We’re a training ground, a farm team, but it’s good to see them go on to their careers and when they are here, they do a tremendous amount for this community,” fire chief Christopher Carleton said. The majority of Point Roberts volunteer firefighters are from Canada and they receive additional training and experience through the local department in exchange for their commitment to serving the community. “They come in fully trained and have already spent $16,000 to $20,000 of their
own funds for that training,” Carleton said of volunteer firefighters they hire from Canada. “They come here for experience and résumé-building and put in hundreds of hours a month serving this community while they’re here.” The department pays for local residents to get their basic firefighter training in exchange for a two-year contract and firefighters looking to obtain EMT training through the department also need to serve a contract period. Three of the four firefighters moving on full-time career positions will join the city of Vancouver’s fire department while the other will be joining the township of Langley.
Trinity launches funding drive By Meg Olson With help from community partnerships, Trinity Lutheran Church is launching a multi-pronged fundraising campaign to pay for urgently needed repairs to the 100-year-old building. “Now that we have the plans for what needs to be done and the costs, we can get on with fundraising,” church manager Louise Cassidy said at the annual general meeting of church membership held virtually on May 16. Tom Sheridan Construction has been retained to undertake a two-phase restoration and stabilization project that is estimated to cost $210,000, Cassidy said. In the first phase, steel plates and cables will be installed to stabilize the sagging sanctuary walls, and in the second phase, a concrete foundation will be poured. The building currently sits on pads. So far, the church has raised $13,000, and is drumming up ideas to add to their building fund. “The Historical Society has offered to reproduce and sell our church recipe book
from the 1980s,” through the history center in the Gulf Road community center, Cassidy said. Using their Pedal Pulverizer, an exercise bike powering a blender, Cassidy and husband Darrell will be selling smoothies by donation at the June 5 Village Fair at the community center as another fundraising venture. Music director Natasha Neufeld is organizing a musical fundraiser. “Our next step will be to contact people interested in sitting on a fundraising committee to coordinate efforts,” Cassidy said. Donations are tax deductible, both in the U.S. and Canada. A special Restoration Giving account has been set up and can be accessed through the Trinity Church website at harmonywebdesigns.com/pointrobertschurch – simply click on the U.S. or Canadian Restoration Donation button – a tax receipt will be issued for either. Alternatively, you can mail a check to Trinity Community Lutheran Church, PO Box 437, Point Roberts, WA 98281. For Canadian donations, you can mail a check to The Daily Bread c/o Dorothy Bayley, 1205 Hunter Road, Delta BC V4L 1Y9.
Younger eligible for vaccinations By Meg Olson By early June, the vaccination program organized through the local fire department will have vaccinated over 760 adults in Point Roberts and will be able to vaccinate younger candidates. On June 19 and 20, fire chief Christopher Carleton said they would be offering the Pfizer vaccine, which is approved for 12 to 17-year-olds. “Anybody in our community at that time, regardless of where you came from, will be able to be vaccinated if they pre-register,” Carleton said. With the potential of a unilateral reopening of the U.S. border to travelers on June 22, Carleton said they would also be offering vaccinations on June 27.
