Descripción
We now need some lawn and garden maintenance and get rid of a bunch of weeds, splitting and stacking firewood, as well as a few other small outdoor projects. Looking for 2 more people, couple or friends who don't mind sharing common

We are an active semi-retired couple with a wonderful big Bernese/Newfie dog on a small Island on the West Coast of British Columbia, Canada. We expanded our drip irrigation system to support the (re)introduction of native plant species to our waterfront island landscape thanks with the help of WorkAway's last year. Now we need help weeding the banks, veggie garden and getting the yard in shape for summer. The swimming pool needs some descaling, power-washing kayaks and general yard maintenance.

Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje
British Columbia has one of the largest coastal temperate rainforests in the world, and yet, we often don't have sufficient water! Living on traditional territories of the K'omox First Nations and Coast Salish peoples, there is a rich cultural groundedness here. Local celebrations include many important and historical events in the colonization (and hopefully, decolonization) of First Nations people all over the province.

Ayuda
We need help digging, weeding, wheelbarrowing. We’d appreciate help with reorganizing our veggie/fruit/nut gardens too! Pool, boat maintenance and splitting and stacking of firewood.

Alojamiento
We can provide amazing detached waterfront accommodation for a couple (or two friends who don't mind sharing a queen bed) who enjoy outdoor activities such as paddling, hiking, biking, and swimming with access to a heated swimming pool and hot tub! (paddle boards, bicycles, etc. available for use)
We are an animal friendly, non- smoking plant based home and are happy to provide food and some shared meals that support this lifestyle to compatible working people.
Algo más...
So much to do: next door world famous Hornby Island beaches, mountains, artisans; Vancouver Island mountains, surf Long Beach, Tofino, shops, and other great stuff to do - just ask! Victoria and Vancouver are both about 3 hours away (by car/bus and ferry) if you need a larger city experience.

I stayed at Mike´s and Tish´s place for just one week, with a friend. Its definitively a very chill place to stay, don´t get me wrong there is still a lot to to, like mountain biking on Hornby Island or taking a canoe out on the ocean. Because of the work hours form 8 to 1, you will have more than enough time to do all sort of outdoor activities,… read more
