David Reay for Islands Trust

Hi!

The rumors are true!

I am running as a candidate for the Thetis Island Local Trust Area.

I am very connected to the Cowichan Valley and Thetis Island. I grew up in Chemainus and have owned property on Thetis Island for over 30 years. I am very active in the Thetis Island Community and hope to continue that service as an Island Trust trustee.

I have created a Facebook page, "David Reay Candidate for Islands Trust," where I will post more information. I also look forward to meeting with you to discuss concerns, the future of Thetis Island, and to share my hopes and views.

Thank you for your time,

Your neighbour,

David Reay

Jim Senetza for Islands Trust Trustee

My name is Jim Senetza, and I am running to be one of our Islands Trust Trustees.

I have been a Thetis Island property owner for 15 years and a full time resident for 7+ years.

I have decided to run for Trustee as the time has come for me to finally step up and do something of meaning for our island. A former neighbour and long time resident of Thetis would ask me all the time about what I can bring to our island. This is a question that has been kicking around in my head ever since.

Now that I've entered into the ranks of the retired, I have chosen the Islands Trust as my first endeavour. I now have the time required to provide my full attention to this rather important file.

To some I may still be viewed as a newcomer, however I feel this gives Thetis the benefit of bringing in a new, fresh perspective for our island. My aim is to blend the old and new together to develop policies that work in Thetis's best interest. Thetis first!

Now I know I'm not well known on Thetis as a whole. Some may remember me by my time working on our ferry. Some may recognize my face, but not know my name.

Well, let's rectify that. I will arrange a number of meet and greets throughout the next month. Dates and times will be announced on eSpokes once determined.

I look forward to meeting as many residents as possible so I can hear your concerns about Thetis and the Islands Trust and share mine. Feel free to reach out to me at any time.

I offer a fresh new voice for our community. A different kind of good.

A Huge Thank You + The Pilkey Point Mystery Continues…

Thank you so much to everyone who reached out after my post about the theft on Pilkey Point Road. We were touched by the response. A few people even called to offer to replace all of the firewood, which was incredibly generous and such a beautiful reminder of what an amazing community we have here.

We don’t need the firewood replaced, but we would really appreciate having the electrical cable returned, no questions asked. It can simply be tossed back onto the property. It is approximately 80 feet long and has yellow paint on both ends. It may only be worth around $15–$20 if sold, but it will cost us a few hundred dollars to replace.

We later realized that a pinkish coloured bathtub was also taken from the property… if you have seen a pink bathtub pop up somewhere recently please let us know.

We’re hopeful this was an isolated incident. We don’t want to feel that we need to lock everything up or install security cameras, and we would much rather begin this new chapter feeling the trust and sense of community that so many of you have already shown us.

Thank you again to everyone who reached out, shared information or offered to help. It has meant so much to both me and my mom.
