Stewart Island tourism operators are reeling from a stoush over access to nearby Ulva Island bird sanctuary. Nearly 40,000 visitors went to Rakiura / Stewart Island last season, with most travelling to Ulva Island - a jewel in the Department of Conservation's crown. However, ahead of this year's season, tourist operators have been told the only wharf in Post Office Cove has reached the end of its life and is no longer safe to use. But DoC and the district council are at an impasse over its replacement - and who should pay for what. Tourism operators are frustrated and worried. Kathryn speaks with Aihe Wildlife Cruises and Water Taxi owner Furhana Ahmad, Southland District Mayor Rob Scott and DOC Operations Director southern South Island Aaron Fleming.

Kathy Wine, the Executive Director of River Action got inspired by a trip she took to Baltimore. She had ridden a pedestrian boat and saw the opportunities the Quad Cities had to have a similar service, on the Mississippi River.Enthused with the idea, Kathy wrote a grant for a feasibility study to see if such a service as a water taxi could work in the Quad Cities. With $25,000 in hand, and encouragement from a River Action board member, the crew forewent the feasibility study and decided to buy a boat to start the water taxi. After a growth period and many successes three and a half years later, MetroLink, public transportation service, took over the Channel Cat, and its been a vital service for visitors and Quad Citzens ever since. The River Action organization continues to make strides in activating the world-renowned Mississippi River that acts as the Quad Cities' front porch.  Among other programs, they charter the Channel Cat regularly to provide an educational cruise series throughout the summer. Learn more about River Action and how you can get involved at RiverAction.org!#VisitQuadCities #RiverAction #MississippiRiver #Podcast #Nature #OutdoorLiving

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Cortes Currents learned that Jason Johnson was going to be Qathen Xwegus Management Corporation's (QXMC) new General Manager back in June, but at that time he was busy finishing up as Sayward's Chief Administrative Officer (CAO). Around the time Johnson took over the helm of the Klahoose First Nation's economic development corporation, I was on vacation for three weeks. We finally sat down on Monday to talk about Johnson's first five weeks at the helm of QXMC. His wife is still at home in Sayward, while Johnson lives in an RV on Cortes Island for five or more days a week. Johnson said a former work colleague with Destination Canada brought the job opening to his attention. “I looked at it and I thought, ‘Wow! There's so much growth with the organization and so many good things going on that it was hard to pass that one up,'” he said. Johnson described his first week as a very action packed introduction to QXMC's operations. He was quickly introduced to Klahoose Forestry, Aquaculture and the Water Taxi before focusing on the two resorts. “When you're joining at peak season, particularly when it comes to the resorts, you're jumping in on very busy times with lots going on. In the case of Gorge Harbour, as an example, some great volume, but also some, dated infrastructure and things that need a bit of care and attention,” he explained. “You're also getting to know a whole brand new team and the dynamics of that team. And so I always take the first couple of weeks to be a sponge and learn how things are done.” He interviewed all 59 of his colleagues at the Marina, to obtain an in depth perspective of the potential and challenges of that operation. That was at the very beginning of his tenure. Johnson sketched out his previous employment in the podcast above: CAO for the Village of Sayward General Manager for Nootka Marine Adventures (two floating resorts, one roadside and a couple of properties under development) Director of Food and Beverages at the Vancouver Aquarium Regional Manager with Northland Properties “I'm putting together five year plans now for both resort operations and looking forward to working with the board on what that may look like,” he said. “A lot of planning is going to go into place come October, November. Those shoulder months where we can really spend some time and really plan things out.” QXMC purchased trailer units for the staff at Gorge Harbour earlier this year and they will soon be moving to a more permanent location. “We are also exploring moving some of the community infrastructure. The gas, the groceries, that sort of thing closer to the road. That is something that is going to require a lot of planning, a lot of engineering.” There are also some buildings in the lower part of the resort “that at some point will either need a lot of love or a lot of replacement.” Some finishing touches are also needed at the Klahoose Wilderness Resort, especially kitchen operations and staff housing. “So lots of work in the off season for both resorts.”

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Current - As November 1st, a new Water Taxi & Cargo Deliveries service will be connecting Lund to the government wharf at Cortes Bay, on Mondays and Fridays. “It will be a 25 minute boat ride across to Cortes Bay and we're going to and from Cortes Bay twice a day. We're offering 12 spots on a water taxi, with the option to bring cargo as well,” explained Kelli Turner, who owns the Finn Bay Group (soon to be renamed Access Point Marine Transportation). “That rate will include 85 pounds of cargo per each person.” Should you wish to transport more cargo, the rate is $0.30 a pound. 09:15 Finn Bay to Cortes Bay  09:45 Cortes Bay to Finn Bay    4:15 Finn Bay to Cortes Bay  4:45 Cortes Bay to Finn Bay Tickets are $35 for adults; $30 for children and seniors. “We're going to be giving a soft start to get it rolling throughout the winter on Mondays and Fridays and then go into six return trips a day starting in June,” said Turner. The Finn Bay Group also plans to operate tours of Desolation Sound, in their new 40 person water taxi, during the summer of 2022. Turner launched his company as “U Call We Haul Marine Services,” in North Vancouver, during in 2010. He relocated to Finn Bay, just outside Lund, two years ago. Since then, the Finn Bay Group has been serving an area that stretches from Cortes Island south to Powell River and up Desolation Sound. Turner also mentioned trips to Campbell River. The trips to Cortes Island were charter runs, in which the water taxi was rented out for $300 per hour. Some of his regular customers were from the Klahoose First Nation in Squirrel Cove. The water taxi services contractors working on Hernando Island. There has been a lot of passengers, contractors and supplies coming out of Gorge Harbour. During the past three months, the water taxi made 52 runs between Cortes Island and Lund. It carried anywhere from 2 to 12 passengers on a trip. “We've also had the opportunity to get into Cortes Bay to drop off a lot of day trippers, as well as people looking to do biking programs throughout Quadra, Cortes and of course Campbell River,” said Turner. “We've had a lot of interest from customers and businesses on Cortes to open up that hub to the Sunshine Coast.” The Finn Bay Group's decision to offer regular passenger service to Cortes arose out of their success with a similar service to and from Savary Island. On Fridays, Turner also offers a shopping service in Powell River. “Everyone calls in and preorders in the stores and then we bring it out and deliver,” he explained. “A big hub for us is all the online shopping. We have everything from furniture to golf carts, ladders and equipment coming here with customers names on it.” They have a large walk-in-fridge and almost as large walk-in-freezer, at Finn Bay, which holds food destined for restaurants, resorts and other customers within their service area.

A little bit extra, every weekday morning, from LBC's longest-serving presenter.

Episode 279: Practicing Integrity with Money I have a thank you gift for you. A way to practice integrity with money. The WeMentor Money LAB Template pdf can be downloaded and used as a guide to facilitate weekly personal and business money conversations. This template has been a work in progress over decades of use personally and with clients. I have recently updated it. I became interested in how money works upon founding WeMentor in 1992. Every client needed a business plan and didn't know how to write one, so I began writing a business planning and entrepreneurial leadership curriculum to use in WeMentor LABs and have never stopped. Financially projecting your future is both mathematics and disciplined art. Yes, 2 + 2 = 4, but so is 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 and 3 + 1. There is more than one way to work an equation that equals four. Working out different scenarios expands our thinking about income-generating activities. Money meetings are a way to look at the numbers from more than one viewpoint. More than one belief system. Even co-creating a belief system that aligns with our vision and values opening us up to noticing that money can come from lots of different places. Instead of having back-n-forth arguments fueled by unmet needs and inadequacies or insufficient sales to cover expenses, the focus is on what you can co-create, cash flow accountability, and ways to create a better world. Money Meeting Benefits Money meetings add a layer of vocabulary and focus as nuances are tracked. They help us become aware of limitations and identify where guidelines are needed, so we know our bottoms as well as the possibilities that advance our abilities to influence change.  Constructive regular money meetings honor our dignity and help us clarify our intentions. Weekly money meetings strengthen our connections with those we make financial decisions. Regularly talking about money is a way to consciously unmask ourselves and learn how to make money and achieve great things together. Weekly money meetings create a space for us to talk about the inner workings of what we generate and our motivations behind them. Talking about when a betrayal happens, our needs, and our deepest desires is an effective way of expressing ourselves and encapsulating a new future, especially in a setting designed for honest conversations, accountability, and healing our financial wounds. In this solo-episode, I go over how to use the WeMentor Money LAB Template. I suggest downloading the template and then listening. Play, experiment, express, and learn. DOWNLOAD WeMentor Money LAB Template Memorial Day. We took a family vacation to Boston last week. Taking a Water Taxi to our hotel, we were met with another industry profoundly affected by this COVID pandemic, water transportation. We were the only ones aboard.  Masks were mandatory in every inside space, like the red, green, and blue subway lines. Matthew, Olivia, and I walked seven to ten miles each day as we explored the many sites: 16 principal sites on the Freedom Trail, the Black Heritage Trail on Beacon Hill, the many universities like Harvard, MIT, Tufts, and Northeastern to exploring thrift shops, the Institute of Fine Arts, over 12 plant-based restaurants around the city, and much more. We were met with a ray of sunshine as we sat down for breakfast at Bonjour Café. Owner and manager, Driss Elmokri, expressed how he opened  his doors last January to packed breakfast and lunch crowds. By March of 2020, as COVID spread and our economy shut down, Driss told his wife he needed to go to the restaurant every day, just in case someone needed food. He began transitioning to a takeout menu. A local medical doctor stopped by one day asking if Driss could fill some orders for the Massachusetts General Hospital staff. One-hundred orders flowed in, and a steady stream of patrons kept coming. Driss said he hasn't yet fully recovered but is hopeful he will. He made it through last year. Anything is possible.
