Thetis Island Parade

Thanks, Kelly Bannister, for sharing this video of a wonderful community event.

Thank You

Thank you to the several people who contacted me with access to an air compressor! We found a neighbour who helped us out and even served us drinks on their deck…

Thetis Islanders rock!!

Sally McLaughlin,

Sunrise Point Road

Thank You

A big thank you to those in the Stretch and Strength Exercise Group that happily joined me in the parade!

Much appreciated,

Seeking Seamstress

Just wondering if there is a seamstress / tailor on the Island (or if you know someone not too far away). I need some alterations done on a dress. Thanks.

I can be reached at shelley196@hotmail.com

Quarterly News and Ideas

Carol Sowerby will be retiring as Quarterly editor following the December 2026 issue. This has led the TICA Board to discuss the future of the 36-year-old Quarterly.

After fulsome discussions, TICA feels the time is ripe to explore the magazine’s role within the Thetis community and, with community support, possibly start afresh with a new publication format.

How to start fresh? TICA will hold a gathering for community members who value an island-based publication, enjoy the stories islanders share, and are interested in the people, events and everyday life of our island community. By gathering, we can brainstorm, share ideas and explore a publication format that could be a great fit for our community.

Agenda:
· Content
· Format
· Willingness

If you are interested in seeing the continuation of an island publication and have ideas to share, please plan to attend an afternoon get-together at Forbes Hall on Saturday, September 12th at 2 pm, facilitated by the Thetis Island Community Association. Coffee, tea and cookies will be provided.

We will be connected through Google Meets if you’re wanting to join us remotely. If you’d like to send us ideas ahead of time, please send to: info@forbeshall.ca

Link to meeting will be sent out closer to the meeting date.

Looking forward to fresh, bright and creative ideas!

Wildfire Smoke and Masks

There are unfortunately still several weeks of wildfire and possible poor air quality days left in the season. Remember to keep an eye on the air quality and avoid strenuous activities outdoors when the air is poor.

If anyone wishes to use an N95 mask during this time please take one or two from the box by the front door of the Firehall on Mission Road. These masks were obtained by the Forbes Hall Health Services Group when the Red Cross offered free masks to communities to use when the air quality is poor.

Access Purple Air at https://map.purpleair.com for up to date data on air quality here on Thetis and the surrounding area.

Stay safe and enjoy the rest of summer.

Chair, Forbes Hall Health Services Group

MLA Debra Toporowski Unfortunately Unable to Attend on Saturday

Debra Toporowski had planned to participate in the parade, the Howling Wolf Market and meet with Islanders at Forbes Hall. I regret to announce this cancellation.

Following the passing of MLA Joan Phillip today (Friday), Premier David Eby instructed all party MLAs to stand down from any public functions out of respect for MLA Phillip. Debra also had a personal friendship with MLA Phillip and worked closely with her in the Legislature.

Pam Cooling, Debra's legislative assistant, assured me that they will make rescheduling this visit a priority.

Thanks,

David Reay

From the Library

A Friend of the Library is available Saturday 10-1, Sunday 1-4 and Tuesday 12-1 each week even though I sometimes forget to post.

Time to look around for library materials to return to the library. In the car, on your bookshelf, under the bed?

Enjoy the parade, markets and Nan’s.

There is a new display of inspiring art books, generously donated by an islander. No cards so please put the information in the check-out book. Enjoy?

Air Compressor Needed

Sally McLaughlin on Sunrise point here. We've noticed that our tire has a slow leak. At home we have a compressor that we use to keep it in line but not here at the cabin.

Is there anyone who either knows where we can put some air in our tire on Thetis or might spare a minute or two with their air compressor?

Thanks in advance,
Sally
