Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - The Strathcona Regional District is seeking a grant for a superior tanker shuttle service on Cortes Island. So I asked SRD Protective services Coordinator Shaun Koopman, what difference would that make? He explained that it would both help the fire department and, most likely, lower Cortes Island home insurance rates.Photo credit: A water tank on Hornby Island - courtesy Shaun Koopman, SRD
