Well, November has certainly kicked us to the ground. As I’m sure everyone has heard, the club is under water. Dan and Audrey are fine, but will likely evacuate soon if the water levels don’t start to drop. The ranges are completely submerged under close to 2m of water. All the buildings are full of water, the seacans, the new bathrooms etc. The mountain filled the sediment pond Saturday night/Sunday morning and then the slough backed up and the water coming down the mountain drained onto our property.
We will rebuild, and be better than ever before, however, we will be closed for a significant period of time I expect. Outdoor ranges will open as soon as we can get them to, but there will be a lot of heavy equipment required before that will happen. Then we will start working on electrical and structural stuff. Power will likely be completely disconnected before we allow anyone on site.
So, please bear with us as we weather this storm, the club will be back, as soon as we can.
Sad to learn of your loss as well many others suffering property and livestock losses. Tha Maritime Provinces stand with you and believe for life improvement moving forward.
Please let me know how and when I can help out. I’m always off work for the weekends and usually get off work no later than 4PM, so I’ll be able to help get it all up and running.
This way worse than I had imagined. This will take more than a couple of work bees to sort out. i am sure we will build back better and stronger.
This is a gut-punch to the whole community, and an indescribable tragedy to those directly affected. I have every confidence that our great club will get back up and running. Can’t wait to come and help out when it is safe and proper to do so.
I would like to mention that some of us are not on FaceGram, InstaBook, or any other form of social media. Hopefully updates will be posted on this website going forward.
This is a resilient club it will rebuild
I look forward to the many work bees
Devastating.. Let us know when members can come assist.
Please keep us posted and let us know when we can help with boots on the ground.
Please let Dan and Audrey know they have a place to go for food and shelter at the Tradex, evacuation centre is open to help. Best wishes to all those affected by the floods.
Assuming insurance will cover costs of electrical, plumbing, drywall tradesmen. Could be a while to get them. But a lot of us are available for work gangs. And ya, I second the non social media info. Email please.
I’m 10 min away, want to help as needed. Such a loss for all
I can’t speak for the other members, but if you need anything at all, just ask!
I would also love to be informed of how I can help get it back up and running
I will definitely be on hand to help whenever and however I can (sadly my time is very limited with 4 kids, 3 in school and an 8mth old). My heart breaks for Dan & Audrey but I’m glad they’re safe.
I’ll check back a couple times a week to keep an eye on when help is needed and will be there as much as I can!!
Feel so bad for Dan, Audrey, owners, shareholders, and members. It’s bad enough we’re all faced with an impending confiscation timeline this summer. We’re also Hoping local civic leaders won’t bite at the Federal Liberal bribe to ban handguns. Further turning the club into little more than a sighting range for pre open hunting season. I’m not sure if the club can survive based upon mostly federal agency’s contracts. Guess we’ll see eh .
