Ethel Wilson Group hears about how to avoid scams
More than 35 members and guests turned out at the recent Ethel Wilson Women’s Group to hear a Saanich Police fraud expert advise on how to avoid being the victim of a scam.
Constable Berle Zwaan has been a police officer for 30 years — most recently working to prevent frauds and scams.
Const. Zwaan explained the most common types of fraud and told the group how to prevent them.
She advised people to be cautious. Examine emails closely before responding or clicking on a link. Don’t give personal and bank information over the phone or online.
Her three biggest tips are:
- Breathe and slow things down - nothing in your financial world needs to be acted on immediately. Take all the time you need.
- Ask yourself: “Does this make sense?” For instance, can you win a lottery you’ve never entered?
- Check in with two trusted people like someone at your bank or a family member.

Huge turnout for Community BBQ
A large crowd turned out Saturday for the Cordova Bay United Church community BBQ and children’s fun day in celebration of the United Church of Canada’s 100th anniversary.
Friends and neighbours of all ages enjoyed free hot dogs, drinks, chips and cake.
“Turning 100 is an incredible milestone,” said Pastor Beth Parsons. “And we can’t think of a better way to celebrate than with our friends and neighbours.”
There was a bouncy castle for the kids, along with face painting, rock painting, games and crafts. And children left with a goody bag of treats.
It is a wonderful way to build community.
The United Church of Canada was formed on June 10, 1925 when the Methodist, Congregational and Presbyterian churches of Canada joined together.

CBUC celebrates United Church 100th anniversary
Happy Anniversary! On Sunday June 8, Cordova Bay United Church marked the 100th anniversary of the founding of the United Church of Canada with a special Sunday service led by Pastor Beth Parsons.
Fittingly, about 100 people attended.
The service featured the choir led by music director Sharon Prindle-Collins, the Praise Band led Glenn Parsons and a chime choir solo by Margaret Chambers.
Following the service there was not one but two anniversary cakes served with tea and coffee in the church hall.
We continue the celebrations on Saturday June 14 with a free community barbecue and children’s fun day. It runs 11-2 in the church parking lot and on the lawns.
See you there!

Church donates to local food bank to fight hunger
