We are a Not for Profit that became incorporated in 1997 with a volunteer Board of Directors. We have a campground on the Beach with a free public beach. And, we have a store on site. We host an annual concert for the August long weekend- first weekend of August every year! WE host events including Canada Day Celebrations ending with fireworks over the water on July 1st!
"Sunday’s meeting also brought a change in leadership, with Noonan stepping down as president. She said the corporation’s membership reached 77 following the AGM, while work continues with a lawyer on an updated version of its bylaws, now in its second draft.
Robb said he plans to continue challenging the membership process. He is preparing information for a lawyer with the intention of filing a statement of claim and said he wants a court to clarify the corporation’s powers and the rights of people connected to the property.
“What I want the court to make a clear statement about is what are the roles and responsibilities and rights of the corporation?” said Robb. “What are the rights of the residents of Strait Shores? What are the rights of campers? What are the rights of other stakeholders?”
Universities asking for money from the public taxpayers? Why? #DefundUniversities
I have to advise my readers that Emily Falvey needs to work harder and more creatively at her well paid job on campus and learn how to network more effectively in the region and to fund raise without asking for money from the people in Tantramar at our Town Hall. Simple as. Hold more events to fund raise.
Blocking me on X was probably also a bad idea Emily.. just sayin. "Radical collaborations" might be a good thing for you.
Gregory Elgstrand and I keep in touch as I had reached out to him this year as he's a former Struts Gallery man from the 1990s .. out there Port Moody, B.C. at bohart.ca / ArtsConnect.. so I do recommend that others in the arts community with AI concerns reach out to learn more about the AI presentation of Jai Djwa, Agentic Digital Medial, referenced below:
On Tuesday 9 June 2026 at 5:30pm ArtsConnect presents “Both Hands Full: Resilience as an Artist's Practice in the Age of AI,” a free public talk by Jai Djwa at The Outlet, 2248 McAllister Avenue in Port Coquitlam.
As Jai Djwa describes: “Resilience is a muscle artists already have. We remake our practice when conditions change, and we work in the cracks of systems that weren't built for us. AI is the latest condition to tackle, and it asks for both hands. One hand holds the harms: scraped work, lost commissions, power consolidated in a few platforms, and real environmental cost. The other holds what is opening up: new forms, freedom from admin, and faster ways to test an idea. Refusing both the booster and the doomer reflex is itself an act of resilience. Drawing on work with the BC Arts Council and Arts BC, and on a current dance residency that investigates AI into live performance, I offer a practical, values-forward way for artists and arts communities to stay flexible, stay specific, and stay in the conversation.”
Jai Djwa is a Vancouver-based artist and educator whose practice spans electroacoustic composition, AI-augmented interaction design, and creative performance. With an MFA in Electronic Arts from RPI and 25+ years bridging art, technology, and social change, he currently runs the Interaction Design program at Capilano University while exploring how AI agents can be personalized to an artist's own voice. He served on the BC Arts Council for 6 years, and is currently on the board of Arts BC.

Greg shared Jai Djwa’s PowerPoint about AI and the arts.. and advised "When I worked at Struts we partnered with the Fine Arts Department and Mount Allison University to present a speaker series in the arts. I think we hosted four or five speakers a year.
..... I look forward to speaking with you again in the future..
Give my best to everyone at Struts and in Tantramar City." [Thanks Greg]
I had a personal connection with Rosa Koire as I had forwarded to her my copies of Joan Veon's two important books "United Nations Global Strait Jacket" and "Prince Charles The Sustainable Prince" many years ago and she wrote me a few lovely thank-you notes and sent me some flyers and other information to use locally for postering. I am grateful that I have been very fortunate to learn from many great ladies in the past including Joan Veon, Niki Raapana [1956-2022], Nordica Friedrich, Kelly McGinley, Sallie O. Elkordy, Brandy Vaughan, Elaine Dewar, Charlotte Thomson Iserbyt - their efforts were tremendous and courageous; they won't be forgotten by me.
The real women will have to become much more vocal in the years to come.. not the brainwashed ones as we've heard enough from them at this point.
Do your part to help peacefully teach others the truth about the United Nations' agenda, alert them for the sake of their children and most importantly resist the "agenda" by spreading the word... thank you.. and God bless.
