My wife and I were among the many volunteers who came over to Salt Spring Island during the month of September to work on the renovation of the Jehovahs Witnesses Kingdom Hall in Ganges.
We were staying in our travel trailer during this time. On Sunday, Sept. 20 when the work was finished, we had a mishap with our trailer that required the need of a tow truck. While we were trying to deal with our situation, a resident stopped to offer a hand and spent some time helping out.
Then Blue Angel Towing responded to our call and came within 10 minutes around supper time. We were in a situation where a lot of damage could have been done to our truck and trailer, but the driver with his experience was able to extricate us expertly with minimal damage. When we went to pay him he refused payment and said it was on him. It was nice to see that many of the people of Salt Spring Island showed a positive reaction to the renovation of the Kingdom Hall and how that was extended personally to us by these “good samaritans.”
