Church building turns 25

On Sept. 16 the Peace River Community Church Corps of the Salvation Army celebrated 25 years in the current building. Here are a few pictures from the celebration dinner.

Well, I'm four months behind on pics, and I was asked to post more from Peace River, so here are a few more.

Internet access!!

I finally have got Internet access setup at home. It's been 4 months since my access was limited to my lunch hours at work. Now I can post pictures. Here I've posted several pictures. Some are from work stuff and others are just of the town and valley. Enjoy.

Santa Clause made an early appearance for the 2006 Motorcyle Run Toys for Tots in support of the Salvation Army's Christmas Hamper program. The event was organised and run entirely by community members. 2 more runs were held in other nearby towns. 

This is the Salvation Army hydration station. This was taken at a weekly practice that the firefighters hold on Tuesdays to keep their skills sharp and to develop new skills. 

The command officer waits outside while the firefighters work inside. This is a smokehouse drill during a weekly practice. 

Three firefighters remove a fallen firefighter from the smokehouse. 

The two bridges. The undertruss is the rail bridge. The other is the bridge for vehicles and pedestrians. That is the only way to cross the river in town. There is a ferry that crosses several kilometers south of town (it is currently closed because of low water levels).
