Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for MIID Generator
The acquisition of the 200KW generator at the Fire Hall is the result
of a cost-sharing initiative between the Mayne Island Improvement District,
the Southern Gulf Islands Emergency Program and the Federal Government.
The generator can provide sufficient backup power to operate all the
facilities on Mayne Island Improvement District land, including the
heliport lighting system.
The official ribbon-cutting ceremony held on Saturday May 5, 2007 was
an exciting and important event in the history of Emergency Preparedness
for Mayne Island. Paddy Lambert, long-time resident and honourary lifetime
member of the Mayne Island Fire Department, was the Project Manager
and with his remarkable attention to detail and in-depth knowledge of
this type of equipment, ensured the timely completion of the project.
Thank you Paddy! Thanks also go Jeff Francis, Mayne Island Fire Chief,
Ian Elliott from the Southern Gulf Islands Emergency Program, and to
all the contractors who participated in this construction project.
As a community, we are indeed fortunate for the vision of those individuals
who made this installation possible.
