A Boy Named Nicolas Nicolas Schwuchow is a gorgeous 18 month old little boy, who lives in Maple Ridge, and who has been diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy (“SMA”). While he’s defying the odds of the disease, he and his family need the help of the whole Ridge Meadows Community. Help is needed to ensure Nicolas receives the equipment and the care he needs, and the family home requires renovations to accommodate the equipment, as well as make it fully accessible for Nicolas.

3) Shop at Maple Ridge Liquor store, at the corner of 207th and Lougheed Hwy, and let them know you’re there supporting Nicolas. They will then donate 5% of the sales total to the fundraising efforts. 4) Keep checking the Facebook page for details on future fundraising events. Visit: Facebook.com/A Boy Named Nicolas

Meet REBECCA FISHER Pitt Meadows Artist-In-Residence

When Rebecca Fisher became Pitt Meadows Artist-In-Residence this year, she realized that the time ahead would be exciting and maybe even ground breaking, as she works towards engaging the community in which she lives, in a fun project that would be of beneďŹ t to everyone, no matter whether young or young at heart. The Community Engagement Project is a Reading Yurt, that will be the collaborative work of the artist, Rebecca Fisher and all community members who are interested in being part of this wonderful venture! When completed, the Reading Yurt will hold small groups of children, maybe half a dozen at a time, who will enter this very special space to sit and read. Children love making tents out of anything they can get their hands on, so just imagine how involved they will feel when they actually make a piece of this yurt and are able to see their work displayed in the completed project! We are coming together to create our own, individual and unique piece of felt, from local sheep’s wool, that will later

16

become a very special part of the larger piece that will be the skin of the yurt. We will be carding the wool and in January/February (2015) we will start the felting process. When completed the Reading Yurt will travel to various places, including schools, libraries etc. VR RWKHUV FDQ DOVR EHQHĂ€ W IURP WKLV XQLTXH FRPPXQLW\ project. Come and join Rebecca at her funky, eclectic, textile studio in the beautiful Osprey Village, by the Fraser River, in Pitt Meadows. The studio is part of this lovely village and has a cosy, antiquey feel to it. The furniture is chalk painted by Rebecca using paint she makes herself. You will see all kinds of textiles from printed pantyhose to leggings and eco-printed scarves and hats (see the owl KDWV IRU FKLOGUHQ DQG VWXIĂ€ HV $ SDUWLFXODUO\ ZHOO ORYHG OLQH DW WKH PRPHQW DUH WKH RZO VWXIĂ€ HV FDOOHG ÂśKRRWHUV¡ for the children.

BUSINESS SPOTLIGHT

Clint Callison Owner/Operator THE CO-OPERATORS 20690 Lougheed Hwy, Maple Ridge 604-460-3650

Clint Callison, Owner/Operator of The Co-operators at Lougheed and 207th Street has seen the difference between buying insurance “anywhereâ€? and buying The Co-operators way. The customers see the difference too. “We’re interested in making sure you have the right coverage at the right price, for the right reasons,â€? Clint said. “It’s more than a transaction. We establish relationships with our customers to last D OLIHWLPH $V RZQHUV ZH DUH XQLTXH LQ WKDW ZH ZRUN LQ RXU RIÂż FHV to ensure the highest levels of customer satisfaction.â€? Clint has been in the industry for many years but made the decision to be a Co-operators owner because the company does things differently, and better.

A wide range of things set The Cooperators apart: 1. Co-operators advisors exclusively sell from the vast line up of Co-operators insurance products 2. Claims are managed in-house by The-Cooperators – the same people you see for your policies are going to support you if a claim happens and you need honest, accurate, caring advice 3. A peer panel to provide binding arbitration on disputed claims (the only such panel in the industry)

“While we look at your overall portfolio every two or three years,â€? Clint said, “we also look at policies every year to make sure you are properly covered, not over covered and aren’t paying for something you don’t need.â€? “We represent the client. So it goes beyond a discussion of coverage. It may also include claims advice.â€? The Co-operators is run in a way that puts people and their QHHGV Âż UVW ,WÂśV D GLIIHUHQFH ZRUWK H[SHULHQFLQJ Âł:H EHOLHYH LQ being honest, open and caring for others,â€? Clint said. “Ours is a company run with honest and ethical values.â€? Community involvement is an important aspect of those values and is illustrated through the company-wide Buckle Up Bear program for proper inspection and installation of car seats and WKH FRQWULEXWLRQ RI DSSUR[LPDWHO\ Âż YH SHU FHQW RI SUH WD[ SURÂż WV to become an Imagine Canada Caring Company. On a local stage, Clint sponsors Haney Horse and Hound 4H, local baseball teams, Cythera House and a number of other community oriented organizations. “This is why we do what we do,â€? Clint said. “People are important to us. Each staff member is licensed, accredited and may carry degrees of specialization, but what really counts is how we treat people and how we take care of their insurance needs. We are here to help you protect everything that is important to you.â€?

We look forward to providing you with a competitive quote on all your insurance needs.
