Residents of Saturna Island, B.C., getting together for Christmas dinner
SATURNA ISLAND, B.C. — Lorna Archer-Quinn will be joining other residents of Saturna Island in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia for a warm community dinner on Christmas.
A 12-year resident of the island, Archer-Quinn is one of many people who have had no electricity since a powerful windstorm hit southwestern B.C. on Thursday.
A group has been making hot dinners for the residents at the island’s recreational centre, she said. And they plan to do it again for Christmas.
“We’re awfully tired of barbecued food and cold food so (my husband and I) are going to go down to Christmas dinner,” she said. “And it’s just so sweet of these young people to (make dinner).”
