Sunday Morning Walks – Winter Museum Walking
You have to admit that, some days this time of year, heading outside for an adventure in the perpetual downpour is not on the list of things to do. But, needing to get out of the house is going to be the one thing that keeps everyone from going off of their rockers in the [...]

Editor’s Note: Good morning and welcome to SHIFT News. Today we have Comox Valley reporter Colleen Dane here with the first of a two-part series on the critical roll that local residents can play in the creation of the Comox Valley Regional Growth Strategy (RGS).

Mom-P-Inc. – Currently Cumberland’s Kathryn Chung

Haunting History – Cumberland’s Bickle House
Editor’s Note: Happy Halloween.

Restaurant Review – Cumberland Village Bakery
When we discovered, much like the rest of us around here, that our daughter is wheat intolerant, I personally mourned the loss of the bakery.

Snow Sled Walks in the Comox Valley
Every day, it’s the same question: “Mommy, when is it going to snow? Santa won’t come if it never snows.”
While I’m sure kids in warmer climates would definitely debate the merits of her theory, our daughter could not help but find herself bundled up and ready to hit the hills the last couple of days [...]
A Sustainable Partnership
Last Wednesday, as our daughter and I were headed off to the NeighbourWood Walk out at Lazo Marsh, we drove along the dyke road in the gleaming sunshine and she made an announcement.

Go Eco-Baby with Sage Creek Organics
This holiday season, I’ve had a huge whack of requests from friends and family about some special deliveries for our new arrival.

The Great Escape Modern Indian Food
At last, our bad Valentines Day dinner karma dies.
It started out less than inspirational.

You can have that officially confirmed by a drive by Lewis Centre, a look to the North and the sight of a horde of tiny people screeching with complete, total happiness in the middle of giant water fountains. Cruise on through downtown Cumberland and you’ll surely come upon the exact same moment.
