Nov.2008 - Jan. 2009 (Vol.1 No.1): Release date Nov.4, 2008

Editorial theme:  A new magazine in Sooke

Sooke has a unique "last chance" to produce a modern community

"The issues of modern living are met with a unique twist in this district of about 10,000 wonderful folks. Like all Canadians we deal with issues of health, education, economy, and politics -- both affected and involved as individuals, families, businesses and community. Unlike many Canadians, in Sooke we have a unique 'last chance' to produce a modern community from the ground up and (judging by the collision of established Sooke and the newcomer expectations) we must do so reasonably soon." ~ Mary P. Brooke, editor and publisher
