Tippy’s Cookhouse open for business THERE’S FAMILIAR FACES BEHIND THE NEW COVE RESTAURANT ALEX KURIAL Editor
AN EARTH DAY FIX Island Pacific School and Regenerative Bowen Island (formerly Bowen In Transition) held a special joint event last Saturday with an Earth Day Festival at the school and the Fix-It Fair next door at Cates Hill Chapel. IPS teacher Pam Matthews (left) made sure there were many educational stations to visit at the school, including the hydroponic farm, the beehive, and lessons about upcycling and fast fashion - plus a themed scavenger hunt. Meanwhile Paola Qualizza (right) headed up the Fix-It Fair and recruited plenty of Bowen’s best to repair electronics, jewelry, clothes, quilts, and more. Take a turn over to Page 14 to check out some of the event’s fun and success stories. / Alex Kurial photo
Bowen diners have a new breakfast stop following the opening of Tippy’s Cookhouse last week. Glenn and Meredith Cormier – well known as owners and operators of the Pub – are behind the new dining venture at the foot of Bowen Island Trunk Road in the Cove (next to the Christmas Tree Lawn). They’re joined in a partnership by Glenn’s sister, as well as a pair of his long-time friends from early days in the restaurant industry. The restaurant officially opened last Tuesday and features a breakfast and brunch focused menu. The majority of the seating both inside and on the patio is dedicated for sit-down dining, but there is also the option to grab your coffee or food to go, with seating also available outside for those just looking for a quick stop.
