Happy Birthday Jayden! 🧁💐💗

Last month, we celebrated your 26 Forever Champagne Birthday and Celebration of Life alongside a group of your family and friends 🥂🍾 Although you were not there in person, the pictures, stories, and emotions filled the room with your presence 💜

Wanting to honour you in a special way, some of your photos were made into edible garnishes for your signature cocktail! Thank you Sugar Dream Cookies for making time to create these for us 💕 Also a special thank you to Jayden’s aunt Haley for her thoughtful review 🥰:

“I 100% give a 10 out of 10 to Campbell River’s Wild Coast Cocktails!! Our little town is so fortunate to have a service such as theirs with their great big hearts! I am so grateful to Caitlynn, Aaron, Tia and Arie for the extra special, super personal yet professional service they provided for my niece’s Forever 26 Champagne Birthday, Celebration of Life Party! You would never have known they weren’t part of the family or friends who were invited, they fit in so perfectly! They were so helpful and supportive in every way, from decisions regarding the menu to coming up with such a special idea of adding a photo garnish to one of their beautiful cocktails! Jayden would have absolutely loved it 💞💞 There was so much care taken and so much enthusiasm in their efforts to provide that extra special flare & beauty to her night! I felt they cared about that just as much as I did and for that I truly thank them from the bottom of my heart 💕"

“Daniel Erskine McIvor, [30 August 1911 – 24 February 2005] was a Canadian aviation pioneer whose long and storied career was crowned by his work with the Martin Mars water bombers. McIvor Lake on northern Vancouver Island near Campbell River is named after him. He was the son of Canadian Member of Parliament Dan McIvor Sr.

In 2003, he was made a Member of the Order of Canada for having ‘developed water bombing techniques that have saved thousands of acres of forest in British Columbia.’ He was also inducted into the British Columbia and Canadian Aviation Halls of Fame for his work on the Mars conversion.”

Thank you for your service, Dan McIvor. 👨‍✈️ ✈
