		<description><![CDATA[Canada is the best country in the world, Vancouver is the best city in Canada and Bowen Island is the best part of Metro Vancouver. It’s fun making statements like that because most people in any rapidly growing area have arrived there by choice. They want to believe that it’s the best possible place and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s time to update the Cape Roger Curtis (CRC) saga. For those of you who don’t follow these things too closely, CRC is 630 acres on the southwest corner of Bowen Island. In 2004 a development company purchased it.  Between then and now a ridiculous amount of time, money and human capital have been expended [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What Does it Mean to be “Green” on Bowen?
 In the spring of 2008 fourteen islanders, selected by Council, sat around tables in Municipal Hall and began to answer this question. They came from a variety of backgrounds, with expertise in climate change solutions, social justice, green buildings, affordability, waste reduction and ecosystem protection – approaches [...]]]></description>

A Brief History of Bowen Island &#8211; In the spirit of brevity I will start in the 1970’s. At that time the local Highways Department foreman approved subdivisions and you could purchase your Gulf Island summer get-away lot at a booth at the PNE. Then the provincial NDP party replaced the Social Credit party and [...]]]></description>

They are proposing “solutions” for Bowen based on the idea that by increasing our density and population, we can become more sustainable, support more amenities and reduce our carbon footprint (the idea [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I find it amusing how we live in two different worlds on Bowen. There is the theoretical world of what we could or should be doing with our community and, on that level we fight like cats and dogs. Then there is the day-to-day practical level where luckily we seem to get along quite well. [...]]]></description>

More than twenty submissions have been posted on the bowenocpupdate website. Taken as a whole, they provide an excellent insight into [...]]]></description>
