This week in our Community Connect series we are featuring a magnificent, woman owned, small business operating right here in Lantzville. Wendy Campbell of Re/TOTE is dedicated to repurposing materials set for the landfill and turning them into beautiful accessory pieces that will have many more years of life.

Recent news coverage by Times Colonist and Chek News has highlighted The Foothills continued commitment, with support from Lantzville’s council, to preserve future old-growth (or FOG’s) forest areas in our community. With a unanimous vote in favour of the new bylaw, two areas totaling 10-15 acres located in the Foothills will be indefinitely protected once approved in the coming weeks.

We are back to spotlight and celebrate another incredible local gem near The Foothills. In this community flourishing with incredible small, local businesses, today we are talking about the iconic Lantzville Pub.

For those of you who are already familiar with the invasive species, you know that our island is highly vulnerable to the growth of this woody weed. It grows rapidly, crowds out native plants, prevents the regrowth of forests, and leads to a dramatic loss of diversity. Thankfully, anyone can get involved in helping remove this big bad weed with the tireless initiative of the Broombusters Invasive Plant Society.

We continue our Homes of The Foothills series where we give you a peek into finished homes and share some inside details about the team's finishings and process behind Foothills homes. We sat down with Richard Wohl, General Manager of Momentum Design Build, to discover his perspective as a building planner and now the owner of his home at The Foothills.

Please-take us back to catch this once-in-a-lifetime event again! Last week's aurora borealis left us speechless as it shone over most of Canada and even around the world.

Join us for a nostalgic journey through Blair’s photos.

Our next phase in the Foothills community features 28 thoughtfully designed homes, each authentically unique in design and finishing. Ascend’s 20 townhomes and 8 semi- detached homes are designed to reflect the natural contours of the surrounding foothills to foster an intimate connection between residents and nature.

Made with finely crafted, high-quality materials, choose from our West Coast finishing packages: Coast, Ridge, or Summit for your new Ascend home. Each palette is inspired by the surrounding landscape and rugged natural beauty from exterior to interior.

We had the pleasure of hosting Sunday Social Run Club, a community initiative started by founder and runner Sarah Georgica at The Foothills. Over 40 runners tackled a fun forested trail loop with a re-fuel with coffee and treats at our presentation center.

Welcome back to another addition of Community Connect, where we feature local businesses and the individuals behind them for an in depth look into our incredible community. This week we are fortunate to steal some time from the incredibly busy crew at Camas, a Lantzville locally loved restaurant inspired by the Pacific Northwest, that focuses on creating incredible dishes and memorable experiences in unison. Camas is owned and operated by spouse-chefs, Sarah and Taka. We asked them about their personal journeys that led them to opening a restaurant, the concept of their kitchen, and why they’ve done it here in Lantzville.
