LIFE ON BOWEN ISLAND
We've heard it so many times, “I've lived in Vancouver for fifteen

ferries were expensive
incredibly picturesque ferry scenery away from Horseshoe Bay. Park
your Car, bring your bikes and for just a few dollars as a walk on pas-

f senger you can enjoy a fabulous full day on Bowen Island.

The commuters call it the ‘forced wind dawn’ on the way hame,
just enough time to read the paper, sip a collee and be giad you're

I leaving the city life. Snug Cove creeps into view and you teel a million
miles away from the heat and the hustle of the city.

Whether you're looking for a place to start your life, cr a place to
relax in your retirement, Bowen Island offers a quaint lifestyle you
can't find anywhere else just thirty minutes from downtown.

Artists, musicians, seniors and stay-at-home Mums have all
carved niches for themselves, There's a theatre group, a busy teen
centre, summer camps for all ages. The local Chamber of Commerce
keep busy with parades, local bands entertain us in the pubs and in
the parks. The wildlife even appears laid back as they roam freely

¥ across the main street. Fortunately the wildest creatures we have

§ here are deer and some of the locals when the moon is full.

Bowen Island Community Schoo! hosts children up to grade six
and every night of the week opens its doors, whether for the aerobics

# groups, a community dinner dance, an auction or a symphony con-

{ cert. The high school students are bussed to West Vancouver and
operate @ busy and successful teen centre very much supported by
the local businesses. .

f A walk down the main road here will find you poking around the

i busy marina, the book store, and craft shops. You can find auto-
graphed novels by Nick Baritock, and then stop for tunch in the pub or
have a cup of fresh ground coffee at the “Snug”. You could take a
leisurely walk around Kilarney fake or bike up to the new Bowen

| (sland Brewery and on to the many beaches on the other side of the
island.

Got a boat? Even more reason to see Bowen Island! Sail across
the Sound and moor at the fabulous marina which fronts on the beau-
tiful Doc Morgan's boardwalk. Check out a starter home for under

| $200,000. Or drive out to Hood Point or Bluewater for a secluded
waterview for under $400,C00.

So drive past the Nanaimo ferry lineups and right on to the Queen
of Capilano for a trip to Bowen Island. Call first for a guided tour of
Bowen and let me show you our Island paradise.
