Hall Expansion: Loiselles

The dilemma in which Thetis Island finds itself regarding the hall expansion in many ways is causing the opposite effect than that intended. It is our observation that it has in fact split the community rather than bringing it together.  

This vote, which has already been rejected once, puts us in an untenable position. To support the suggested loan goes against our values and better judgement with many questions as to how and why we have come to this point. To reject the loan will halt progress on the building and leave the community without a HEART for an indefinite period.  Either way it will only serve to split the community further which no one wants. It is a no win situation.

Perhaps there is a way out of this quandary by putting our heads together and thinking outside the box to find an acceptable solution. If as a community, instead of voting yes or no we chose to defer the decision, it would buy some time to allow some options to be explored. When one can't see an acceptable solution it is best to step back and ponder the options. There is more than enough brain-power on Thetis to find a way forward if we cooperate and think as a collective. 

A completed functioning hall is everyone's wish, but let's find a way to do it in harmony.

With gratitude and respect for this community

Maureen and Wayne Loiselle
