Wow!
What an adventure and we are so thankful to
have been able to share with all of you this wonder-
ful journey.
We can all agree The Big Community Event was
a huge success and we have never been so moved
and so proud to have the privilege of calling all of
you our friends.
The Big Event would not have been possible
were it not for the support and generosity of an
entire community, but most of all each and every
one of you.
Your tireless dedication and commitment to
a common goal of seeing our community come
together not just in spirit, but for future growth and
benefit to all is something we can all be proud of.
The magic experienced on Feb. 26, 2012 would
be difficult to reproduce and I for one am glad to
have experienced it.
Everyone should be so lucky to experience the
bond of living in a small community at least once
in their lifetime, where everyone cares so much.
We have no doubt if we can keep this spirit alive,
we can achieve anything we put our minds to.
Feb. 27 was a big day for us, and they don’t call
it “The Big Decision” for nothing.
We had a great day with Arlene Dickinson and
the CBC wrapping up the filming for our episode.
Although we can’t say too much, we can say that
the future for Hardy Buoys Smoked Fish is more
reassuring.
We have never stopped believing in our business,
our products and our crew’s ability to get over this
hurdle.
We are a great team, and so happy that others
share our vision that not only does Hardy Buoys
deserve an opportunity for growth and success, but
the North Island deserves this as well.
So now we can all look forward to March 12, the
start date of the Big Decision, and watch the other
businesses as they work for the same results we
have all worked so hard for.
Then we can all watch April 2, when Hardy
Buoys and the North Island shine on national T.V.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for
everything.
Bruce, Carol and The Crew of Hardy Buoys Smoked Fish Inc.
Thank you As the publisher of the
North Island Gazette and
a resident of the North
Island my family and I were thrilled
to attend the Big Event.
During the past 20 years living in
Port Hardy, I have seen time and
time again the great support North
Islanders offer to one another, but
for me the Big Event topped them
all!
This event, organized by Hardy
Buoys, their crew and so many
North Island businesses and citi-
zens in such a short time frame,
was a huge success and an amazing
day.
I was even more proud than usual
— if that’s possible — to call the
North Island my home that day.
It was great to see so many mem-
bers of other North Island com-
munities attend and show their sup-
port as well.
The North Island Gazette staff
was happy to put together this pic-
torial commemorative pullout so
we can all have a physical keepsake
of the great day and how the resi-
dents of the North Island teamed
up yet again to show the world how
we all pull together for a common
cause.
In these pages you will see shots
by our staff and our readers who
had taken so many great photos.
Good luck Hardy Buoys and be
sure to watch the Big Decision to
see how we all did that day!
If it were based on that day alone,
it wouldn’t be a Big Decision to
know you were successful in bring-
ing the communities together!

THE EXECUTIVES Are proud to announce that we tied for first in the Domino’s Pizza contest!
Our share of the winnings, $2500 will be donated to the Hardy Bay Seniors Centre
Our Group & the Challenge: This recipe is definitely not from grandma’s collection or from Chef Google. Five Port Hardy friends, all lovers of animals, food, wine, and good conversation developed (through trial and error) this tantalizing mix of ingredients to showcase Hardy Buoy’s smoked salmon. We tossed the tomato sauce and opted for a more subtle, creamier base. Carefully selected ingredients add flavour and texture that make every mouthful a taste sensation. Truly a gourmet pizza that will keep Port Hardy and Hardy Buoy’s in your mind forever!
The Pizza: Ocean’s Delight The ocean is Port Hardy’s crowning jewel. This pizza stars Hardy Buoy’s Smoked salmon, accented with flavours of pepper, cayenne, chives and bacon, smothered in Havarti and Mozzarella cheeses. An eagle head (made from cheese and apple) crowns the top. This bird symbolizes strength, beauty, and a dependency on the ocean for its survival. A mirror image of what Port Hardy means to us.
