HeadliwackFullHeadliwackSmallIf you look close at this little oversized novelty cheque (to the right), you may notice that it is signed by Barry Penner (in immaculate block letters, no less) in his official capacity as Premier Gordon Campbell, MLA. Looks like our lovable Environment Minister got a promotion to El Gordo! Congrats!

ChilliChequeFullChilliChequeSmallThis undersized oversized novelty cheque is NOT LEGAL TENDER. That doesn’t seem to be dampening Barry Penner’s spirits, though. He’s still loving every minute of it. So is John Les, but he doesn’t quite get it.

SaniStationFullSaniStationSmallNothing gets Barry Penner’s grin a-grinnin’ wider than disturbingly specific (larger size to the right in case you can’t read it above) oversized novelty cheques for marine sani pump-out stations. It was just going to be for $100,000 even, but the sign they are standing in front of cost about 600 bucks, and then they went out for lunch.

Local politicians love gettin’ them, Barry Penner loves givin’ them away!

That’s right, oversized novelty cheques! What better way can you think of to give large sums of money to deserving individuals and organizations? There’s certainly nothing more practical or discreet, and everyone enjoys a good handing over ceremony!

So all this week, we will be featuring that most altruistic of MLAs, Barry Penner, in his quest to fund the world one gigantic non-cashable cheque at a time!

Just in case you couldn’t peel your eyes away from the handsome gentleman that dominates these pages, I’d like to bring your attention to a couple of minor (minor) changes to the layout of the website. To the right are now some links that you may want to check out, if you haven’t already. Specifically the new FAQ (full of 100% questions!) and the new Barry Penner biography (full of 100% ‘facts’!). The About page and Contact page are also newly revamped and expanded, so give those a gander as well. Fun stuff!

Also, I’d like to welcome a new member to the BarryPennerIsAwesome team. Say hello to TheEditor! TheEditor is here to make sure my Barry Penner related ramblings are as smart and snappy as the Minister himself. Say hello back, TheEditor! Now that you two are aquainted, any mistakes you see here are no longer entirely my fault. Hoorah!
