Outlanders Performance Last Meeting
November 11th, 2025
Hi Folks!
Today (Remembrance Day) is a day I appreciate more and more as the years go by. We at OSRS hope you’re having a very reflective day remembering those we’ve lost.
During the last meeting, we had a such a special Irish Music Duo, Outlander! Their performance was quite a special one. Our members thoroughly enjoyed their music, and the colourful jokes between music sets!
Irish Music Duo, Outlander
The image I will never forget, was watching Annie and Gayle clapping to the music.
Testing cropping “skills” to better highlight the moment
Thank you again Irish Musical Duo, Outlander (and your helper), for sharing your love and skill for Irish music with us, and making the last meeting such a special one!
Sand Sculpting Beach Fest Cheque Acceptance + AGM News
November 2nd, 2025
Kathleen, John, and Bonnie went to accept the cheque from the annual Beach Fest event in Parksville, and also got 2 great pictures!
Special thanks to everyone who volunteered for the various shifts! I heard every shift the OSRS crew staffed went smoothly, and that’s really important to not only help secure spots for next year, but it helps make the experience a positive one for all the visitors!
In the picture below, while we can’t hear what Kathleen’s saying, we can hear her voice in our heads. No doubt she’s expressing her thanks and appreciation, while spreading the word about OSRS and advocating for stroke survivors and their caregivers.
This is a great picture (see below). Can you spot Bonnie?
Thanks again to everyone who makes this amazing event possible (Organizers, volunteers, staff, sponsors, etc.).
In other news: OSRS had their AGM recently! It went very smoothly, and was a rather enjoyable experience!
A Huge Thanks goes to out-going Board Member Gary C for volunteering his time helping make OSRS what it is.
Also it’s my pleasure to welcome our Newest Board member, Fern! Next time you see her, don’t forget to express your thanks to her for stepping up!

Hi Folks!
That was such an enjoyable time at the Fishing Forever event at Spider Lake. Special Thanks to Jamie Sudyko and the Volunteers from the PQFG Association for hosting an organizing this event. Their fishing rods, bait, casting expertise, and fun conversations helped make it a relaxing and enjoyable experience for all!
The OSRS group (~24 participants) greatly appreciates everything they did, and are excited to hear the event will be happening again next year!
