I don’t know about you but I’m resisting getting back into the school routine this year. The holidays have been and gone and as of today, we’re packing the kids off to bed at a ‘reasonable time’. How I wish for late night excursions to find a night cache and no worries that it’s a ’school night’!
Our very capable assistant Robyn has a new semester at college and a new timetable. Shipping Monday, Wednesday and Friday was great last semester, but we’ll see in a couple of days how this semester’s timetable will line up. Robyn is an awesome employee and we are very willing to ‘make things work’. With our type of business we have the ability to be flexible!
BC is gearing up for the 2010 Olympics happening across the ‘pond’ in Vancouver and Whistler. We’re a short scenic ferry ride from the mainland so I expect we’ll see quite a few tourists coming to check out the provincial capital and cache in cache-dense Victoria, BC. This is a really great opportunity to showcase some great cache hide locations like the ones in BC Parks and also our regional parks. If you have a cache that may be a tourist draw, now would be a good time to check on it, freshen up your log, sharpen the pencil and leave some cool BC or Canadian trade items. Check with your local politician’s offices for pins and other freebies that are there for the asking! Also, we have some pretty sweet Canadian Cacher items that tourists love to find in caches.
Our upcoming 2010 Canada Micro pays tribute to our Canadian Navy who are celebrating their 100th anniversary this year and our 2010 Micro Puck will be named the Canada Olympuck in honour of our province hosting the Olympic Games. Watch for more details and these cool coins coming up next month!
Best Wishes for 2010!
Helen
