Two Canoes Missing from Sandpiper Beach Since August 28

community · August 28, 2018 · Sandpiper Beach

Two canoes, a 17-foot faded blue Frontiersman and a faded red 15-foot canoe with a black K & M painted on it, were last seen on Sandpiper Beach on August 28 and are still missing. Police have been informed and suspect they were taken for a joy ride and abandoned.

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.
