Sadly John died in a car accident on a ski trip to the rockies. The original ownership group prepared a bronze plaque honouring him, to be mounted at the "lake". For decades, the plaque sat in various places in the Baldy Bar. It has been a few years since I have inquired, but the last time I asked, it had apparently disappeared. If anyone comes across it, we should do something about getting it on display.
Engrave your tools, skis and other valuables with your drivers license number. If your stuff ends up in a pile of recovered stolen goods, the RCMP can quickly identify who it belongs to.
Yesterday I met a nice guy, contractor, journeyman. I posted a promo for his business, but took it down as soon as I learned his tools had been stolen. I will repost after I have talked to him.
This is particularly disturbing as the tools were taken from the back of a pick-up truck, in a driveway, in the few minutes the contractor was inside the building. Three pick-ups parked there, lights on, smoke coming out of the chimney. Still daylight.
Was someone watching? Owners of the other two pick-ups had gone for a ride on their quads less than an hour before.
Images provided to me from cameras in the village so far are all vehicles that I recognise as people owning/staying in the village.
I have a dashcam image of someone walking in the village around noon - someone I do not recognise.
Stuff can be returned, no questions asked.
Batteries are marked with initials, hand tools are trade specific and culprit may not know what they are for - keep an eye out for discarded tools.
Calling all cameras. Milwaukee Tool box, grinder, batteries stolen from the back of a pick-up in Jones' driveway . Updated timeline - the contractor continued working until closer to 7:00 pm. So the window for the theft would have occured closer to 7:00pm.The contractor had just gone into the cabin before leaving, and the stuff was gone. The contractor's truck was picked up on camera circling the village closer to 7:00pm.
Reported to RCMP
Three guys, three pick-up trucks - working all day. Two guys head out on their quads around 6:00pm. Third guy goes into the cabin briefly before heading home. Tools disappear from his truck while he was inside. Someone watching?
Top Hat is here today and tomorrow, cleaning pre-booked chimneys. If you missed this round, contact Al to get on the list for another day, probably in July.
Fresh Air, Mountain Vistas & Camaraderie Await!
The Mount Baldy Community Association
(MBCA) has been hard at work designing, building and mapping new trails on
Mount Baldy’s eastern slopes to expand summer hiking and winter snowshoeing
opportunities for everyone to enjoy. This summer, the work continues — and we
would love your help!
Join fellow outdoor enthusiasts from
10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. for a rewarding day of trail maintenance and signage
installation while enjoying spectacular mountain scenery, fresh alpine air, and
great company. The BMCA has been successful in obtaining a grant from the
Outdoor Recreation Council of BC to fund the design and production of trail
signage, and as part of this grant, we are required to provide volunteer labour
for its installation. After all, sometimes it really does take a village.
Volunteer Dates
Volunteers will meet at the lodge at
10:00 AM, and refreshments will be served at 2:00 PM.
Whether you are an MBCA member or simply
someone who loves the outdoors, we warmly welcome you to join us. It’s a
wonderful opportunity to meet new people, give back to the mountain community,
and help create an exceptional trail system for future hikers and snowshoers.
Work will include trimming brush and
branches for visibility, installing colour coded markers on trees, and then
installing signage and mapping, Volunteers please bring with you gloves
and basic hand tools such as snippers and hand saw.
The MBCA’s goal is to have all trail
maintenance completed and signage installed by October 1 in preparation for the
2026/2027 snowshoeing season.
In the meantime, all trails remain open,
they are ribboned to help with navigation, and visitors are encouraged to come
explore, search for wild berries, and take in the breathtaking mountain views.
Please contact Rod by email at snowmacb@gmail.com
to let him know you will be joining us so we can plan for work and the
refreshments.
We hope to see you on the mountain this
summer!
