Road Safety Group: May 13th visit by MOTI

Hi All,

MOTI lead guy (Ryan Gerow) is coming Monday the 29th to visit Thetis and go on a bit of a road tour with TIRRA President Gord Prescott.
They will arrive around 9AM off the 8:35 ferry.

We aren't looking for protestors...ha-ha, but if you and a few of your friends with walking or with bikes, horses and strollers....were out in the ferry corridor, school and North Cove to Forbes Hall area, to provide a visual as to the narrow roads, poor roadsides for walking, inability to walk on left...etc. You are encouraged to do so!

Thank you to Gord for arranging...I am going to be off island so cannot participate. Remember to get your friends involved!

Thetis Island - Available Accommodation?

Good day,

My company is a partner with Telus. We have crews working on the island to install the outside fiber drops to premises in preparation of installations.

To reduce travel time, we are looking for accommodation for my crews to be able to spend more time completing the outside work, but we have not been able to find anything available. I was given this email address to hopefully help with finding somewhere for them to stay.

Would you be able to help find accommodation? Please reach out with any questions or concerns.

Regards,
