BC Hydro is advising the community of their annual John Hart facility public warning system tests that will take place on October 22, between 8:00am and 4:00pm along the Campbell River. Temporary signage advising of the siren tests will be placed along the river system.
Our sirens will engage to warn of quick increases in river flows. Permanent river safety signage is in place to advise what the siren sound means, and when heard, to move out of the river channel.
To ensure their John Hart facility public warning system is working as intended, on Tuesday, October 22, between 8:00am and 4:00 pm, BC Hydro will be testing the sirens at four locations along the Campbell River, from John Hart Dam to Second Island. The sirens may run for about one minute, multiple times throughout the day.

"Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the first fruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine." ~ Proverbs 3:9-10
Each October, people get overly enthused for everything cozy, apple-y, and pumpkin spice-y! The ornate, beautiful displays of bountiful harvests and cornucopias spilling with shiny apples, juicy pears, luscious tomatoes, and multi-coloured beans, potatoes, and carrots seem to urge people to put on their thick sweaters and curl up by the fireplace. It is an easy visual to imagine, resplendent in bright oranges, yellows, reds, and browns. It reminds me of that passage from Proverbs 3 in which the writer portrays the Lord's barns being filled to overflowing and His vats of wine brimming over with new wine. Our Lord is not stingy. He gives abundantly. The visual beauty that he creates in this season of harvest is popping with such vibrant colour that it overwhelms the senses. Let us be like our good God and not hesitate to share with others out of the abundance He has given each of us -- our time, gifts, talents, skills, service. May our thanksgiving to Him pour out in vibrant abundance! He is worthy of our praise!
Be richly blessed this month!
