Hey Lasquetians,
I will be in Parksville working (or not), for the foreseeable future as this crazy pandemic unfolds. So I have decided to offer you my shopping and delivery services. If anyone needs groceries, parts, beverages, etc put on the ferry please get in touch. I will be doing a weekly trip to Nanaimo as well for those must haves.
