Reminder: PFLA Mailing Address Has Changed  

Earlier this year, PFLA changed our mailing address. Most of you have made the transition to the new address smoothly. There are still a few folks who send mail to our old address. We understand. Change is hard. Please be advised, as of November 26, 2015 PFLA will no longer receive forwarded mail from our previous post office box. We'd hate to miss any correspondence from you. You can reach us by mail at: PO Box 468, Sooke, BC V9Z 1H4 or by phone at: 250 642-0617. Thanks for your flexibility. We look forward to hearing from you.
