Back issue. The Denman Firestarter did not exist on 2021-02-25. This edition was compiled on 2026-10-01 from the public record as it stood on 2021-02-25, and contains nothing dated after that day — no outcomes, no hindsight. It is a reconstruction of what was on the record at the time, not a document from the time. This edition.

Blackberry Lane is preparing to move into a new early childhood education centre, and is asking the community to share memories of its time in the Community Hall.^[1]

The program has operated from the hall for over 30 years, according to a notice by Kerri Boland in this week’s Islands Grapevine.^[1]

Photos and short stories about the hall space are being collected for sharing with the community. The notice also seeks usable lumber and supplies for garden beds or a small playhouse.^[1]
