The British Columbia and Yukon Chapter has been granting wishes since 1987. This vast geographic area is the responsibility of our Provincial Office in Burnaby, with a staff of 5, backed by a team of dedicated volunteers and a supportive board. Like the rest of the Foundation, we never turn down a wish child. We are able to do this thanks to the generous support of the public, corporate sponsors, planned gifts, donated goods and services and funds raised through special events. Together, we are working to make life better for children all over British Columbia and Yukon . Each year, thousands of Canadian children between the ages of three and 17 are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. The Children's Wish Foundation of Canada is dedicated to granting an exceptional wish to every child. Established in 1984, Children's Wish is a national non-profit organization dedicated to fulfilling a favourite wish for children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. Since its inception 25 years ago, Children's Wish has granted more than 16, 000 wishes for children and their families and fulfills approximately 900 wishes annually -- granting nearly three wishes everyday -- each being an individual adventure, carefully structured to meet the needs of that particular child. The foundation has never refused a wish to an eligible child. Each wish is as unique as the child who makes it. A wish can range from a personal computer or a home theatre system, to travel or a meeting with a celebrity. Children's Wish, a grassroots charity with chapters in every province and territory, relies on the generosity of its donors and volunteers to make certain that no wish is refused. Children's Wish has established itself as one of the most recognized registered charities in Canada and the most recognized organization when it comes to granting wishes for children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses.

After reading Robert X. Cringely's post on the oil spill, I felt obliged to comment. I feel the biggest problem with the whole oil leak catastrophe is that the wrong people were accepting the risk. Here is my comment that I posted to Robert's blog.
Island Pride Garden Company was started in 1989 in Wood Islands as Island Pride Farms. In 2007, we created the new name of Island Pride Garden Company. This family operation expanded from the one location in Wood Islands since 1989 to a second location with the purchase of a new garden centre in Hunter River in 2006.
