Texada Tapestry

November 19, 2011 was a very successful afternoon at the Van Anda Museum where Texada Island residents braved the elements of high winds and ferry cancellations to attend a book launch of  "Texada Tapestry "  a history  by Heather Harbord.

Dedicating her book to long time residents and Texada Island Heritage Society researchers Doug Paton and Peter Stiles. Heather read passages from her book to a standing room only crowd, then for those who wished she signed her book while others enjoyed tea and goodies.

From all of us at the Texada Island Heritage Society we would like to thank Heather for the three years of diligent, dedicated research and many long hours of writing to make this book a reality and as accurate as possible to reflect Texada Island's colorful history.
