Dear Campers,

Campers,
After 12 summers managing Tribune Bay Campsite, I've decided that it's time to move on. My daughter Becky and I are moving to Victoria. As you might imagine, it is hard to leave our beautiful Hornby Island and the community that we have grown to love. It has been the best place on earth to raise my two daughters. Now we are ready for a change.

I have gained so much experience in this job. It hasn't all been easy, but I've learned a great deal about people and about myself. I have to say that my favorite part of the job has been seeing parents spending healthy, good quality time with their children.

Most of the people who come to this campground are into healthy living, beauty, nature and good clean fun. Thank you for being good sports, for being respectful of each other and of the island and her delicate ecology. Thank you for recycling, for caring and for loving the beach, the rocks, the trails, the trees as much as, if not more than Hornby citizens.

I feel it has been an honored position for me to have gotten to know all of you, as well as wonderful staff members over the years, suppliers, repair people and other businesses on the island. I have been fortunate and I take with me many fond memories.

But I will likely see many of you again, when I return to the island from time to time as a fellow vacationer.

Yours truly,

Linda Lake
