Subject: Emergency Notification System from Hicks Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 14:50:11 +0000 From: directorjdf <directorjdf@crd.bc.ca> To: directorjdf@gmail.com<directorjdf@gmail.com> 

Friends,
     Starting today, residents of the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area may register at  www.crd.bc.ca/ens for the Emergency Notification System. In the event of a significant emergency or disaster, the emergency notification system will quickly notify residents who may be impacted by the situation. This system can call your home phone or cell phone, send a text, and/or email important safety information or instructions.
     This system costs the JDF taxpayers $ 1,164 per year and will be invaluable in case of a tsunami, earthquake, wild fire or policy emergency. Less than 20 cents per resident is extremely good value for this service and we are grateful to our
     Please take a moment and register and please also forward on to your neighbors.

Welcome back!
'Spring has sprung, so have the grasses and weeds.  In preparation for the busy season, please check your lot and RV for any clean up and maintenance that might be needed.

Fibre Optics Installation - Posted January 11th, 2017

Telus is revisiting their delivery dates and we won't hear more until the spring.  The reason for some of the delays is due to our specific need for change of alignments for the placement of the services on the individual lots which requires a redraft of the full layout.  Needless to say this is disappointing, but we want the service to meet the parks requirements.

What is your Expertise?

The board of OPRCA is aware that all of our members have a wide variety of expertise from work experience, education, recreational and of course life experience.  We often have questions that affect our park and members and it would be useful if we knew what fields our members have an interest or expertise in.  For example some of our members have experience in banking, commercial fishing, photography, art, woodwork, contracting, government agencies, farming etc.  If you wouldn’t mind a call or e mail from time to time to tap into your knowledge we would appreciate you contacting the board via this web site at the Contact page.  Just complete the required fields and under message insert your expertise or interest(s). 

Thank you,

Your OPRCA Board of Directors

We continue to offer Wi Fi here at the park at no additional cost for members. This doesn't however mean unlimited usage. We as a whole are capped with a maximum usage amount. Usage above and beyond incurs additional cost to the park. Additional usage has been problematic at times and if usage continues to rise, we will be forced to increase the limit at additional cost and/or farm out WiFi to a third party to monitor, maintain and set pricing policies.
