Say ‘T hanks’ to a Volunteer“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by

what we give” - Winston Churchill

To all our Volunteers who work so tirelessly, we extend

our gratitude for your efforts, your dedication and

commitment to the success of the Filberg Festival. Without

you it could not be done.

We would also like to thank our volunteer sponsors

Canadian Western Bank - Courtenay Branch and RE/MAX

Ocean Pacific Realty whose support will assist with looking

after our volunteers during the Festival.

“Canadian Western Bank strongly believes in supporting

and strengthening the communities that our customers

and employees call home. We are proud to be involved

with the Filberg Society, preserving a gem in our Valley

through an iconic annual festival. The commitment of

volunteers in organizing the Festival is absolutely amazing

and once again demonstrates the spirit of our community.

Thank you for giving us an opportunity to help!”

“The Comox Valley is known for its spirit of volunteerism.

If you have a task to perform, a challenge to meet,

whether it’s guiding the Olympic Torch through the valley

communities or assisting visitors at YQQ, your event or

impression will be better because of the volunteer. The

Filberg Festival shines brightly to thousands of visitors,

artisans and performers because of the quality of the

volunteers. At RE/MAX Ocean Pacific Realty we participate

in our community and applaud those who join us. It’s a

privilege to be here. “

Record Staff With the 32nd annual Filberg Festival coming

up, a new stage at the park will have its � rst opportunity to display both local and national talent over the course of the weekend.

The new Comox Rotary Stage recently received an upgrade from the usual tent-like canopy.

With a donation of $15,000 toward building the stage from the Rotary Club of Comox and $5,000 each from The Comox Valley Community Foundation and Coastal Community Credit Union, the 191 Construction Engineering Flight subunit of 19 Wing Comox volunteered to build the stage.

“We de� nitely like opportunities to work in the community and give something back to the community that supports us,” said 191 CEF Commander, Lt. Teslin Bruhn earlier this year.

The concrete stage has four pillars and a timber frame structure, covered with a slanted metal roof for a sturdy, open design. The electrical work is mostly concealed by the new structure, ensuring a

The Denman & District Lace ClubThe club began in 1919 with the visit of a very accomplished lace maker Elsie Spenser who was visiting her brother on Denman Island.

Members of our club have also branched out and now make lace patterns from Russia, France, Denmark, and several different locations in Great Britain, each having their own distinctive style. We are pleased to be invited to participate in the Filberg Festival again this year, having an opportunity to make even more people aware of this antique but still living art form.
