Traditional Haida Feast in Skidegate British Columbia
Before boarding our sailing vessel we are hosted by Roberta Olson, a Haida Matriarch, in her house in Skidegate not far from the Haida Heritage Centre.
Roberta is helped on the occasion of our visit by two young Haida who welcome us into her home with a song. The food is amazing: herring roe on seaweed, different kinds of salmon prepared in traditional fashion, halibut, salads, edible flowers, chowder and lovely tomatoes. The experience is very rich.
Like other First Nations elsewhere in Canada, Haida society is matrilineal. This means that the house, property and many other cultural elements are passed on to the next generation through women.

Pilgrimage to Windy Bay, Haida Gwaii - Island Roamer - Bluewater Adventures
Visiting Windy Bay on the eastern edge of Lyell Island feels a little like going on a pilgrimage. It is near here in 1985 that a group of elders from Haida communities decided to embark of a very public campaign to stop logging activities on the island, home to magnificent 100-year old trees, up to 70-meters tall. This is where the begingings of protected Haida Gwaii were hatched. Watchmen still protect the site and the longhouse-style cabin named Looking Around and Blinking House, which they built and lived in bunk-style while events unfolded at the time. Watchmen do allow visitors in. It is a fitting prelude to any visit deeper into Lyell Island's forest.

Clips from Hospital Day footage taken in 2008
Hospital Day has been an annual tradition here on the Islands since 1908, when islanders came together to raise funds to build the first hospital in Queen Charlotte City. For many years thereafter, the annual Hospital Day provided the only source of operating revenue for the hospital. To this day, Hospital Day continues to provide monies for purchasing healthcare equipment for various healthcare programs all over the Islands.
But healthcare and wellness are not only about splinting fractures and purchasing hospital hardware. The health of a community is benefited by people coming together. Sharing a common history is part way down the road to having common cause, and a healthier community. Hospital Day is about bringing neighbors together to share a conversation, a cup of coffee and watching the kids have fun.

BC Ferries VP Mark Collins speaks : Are WE being SERVED? or just being $ERVICED? ③ 21/10/15
➽ 'SERVICE' or 'PROFIT' first ? Watch / listen to Mark Collins VP and it shall be revealed!
An brief agenda item to delineate 'shuttling' widens into much broader issues of under-utilization & turning profits, becoming a lengthy lecture and discussion on contractual limitations and omissions between the Government and the Contracted Service Provider (BC FERRY Corp).
