Operated by Connective Support Society (formerly the John Howard Society), people who have occupied beds at overnight shelters in Nanaimo will be given the first opportunity to move into more stable housing later this spring.

BCHL game #483 came as a bit of a surprise, but it was an easy one to call. Fingers crossed my return from retirement is short-lived.

You know it's @harboursidefc broadcast season when I'm breaking out multiple VLOOKUPs in a cell to build a spotting board. New this year is a better game logger to track key stats and have them update easily. https://t.co/NTo6kLfgqT
I had so much fun back on the air with @harboursidefc on Saturday. Games broadcast on Rogers and streamed via @League1BC YouTube. It's a great atmosphere and both the men and women delivered with quality play.
Tight at the top. 👀 The Men's Division is poised nicely for Matchweek 3️⃣, with @harboursidefc marginally leading the standings. #L1BC https://t.co/9LEf5SENFG
