I have the names of postmasters for above offices to 1970 and in some cases later.
I have a 1967 letter from a Miss G.C. Hamilton, Dromore, RR 1 Fulford Harbour discussing Post Offices and mail to Salt Spring Island.
If you have exact information on the location of any or all of the above offices I would appreciate a map showing the location.
Yours truly,
Bill Topping
