Saturday Market Features DI Tea Company and Cable Ferry Plastic Collection

community · Saturday Market

Michael Rapati is collecting plastic debris from the cable ferry found on Denman and Hornby beaches and is seeking community help to collect more plastic to remove it from beaches. Brendan from the Denman Island Tea Company is selling three varieties of fresh brewed iced teas weekly at the Saturday Market.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
