Soup’s On ~ Wednesday, February 18th

11:30 am until 1:00 pm
Gather at Forbes Hall for a very Thetis Island lunch...

Menu:
Black bean and Vegetable Soup
Toppings: grated cheese, yogurt and/or green onion
Cornbread
Assorted Cookies and Goodies
Teas and Coffee
Suggested donation of $7 for soup, bread, treats, and teas & coffee.

Soup’s On is entirely carried out by volunteers and, as one of the tasks is the program’s accounting, please do not pay with coins smaller than Loonies and Toonies (as all change must be counted and rolled).

For those who find large groups challenging, enjoy your lunch in this week’s designated quiet room, the Boardroom.

Everyone is welcome to join us, seniors, seniors who don’t think they’re seniors, workers, families, and everyone who just wants a mid-day meal!

Menu remainders for take-out when available. Soup’s On also supports the Thetis Island Food Pantry.

Coupon Booklets of 10 for your convenience, $70.00

‘Pacific Herring Recovery’ Talk ~ Wed, Feb 25th 🐟

Hello Thetis Islanders,

Just a quick reminder that our community talk on Pacific herring recovery is happening in just over one week!

Last spring’s remarkable herring spawn around Thetis Island was an unforgettable sight, and a powerful reminder of what’s at stake. With herring stocks south of Dodd Narrows now considered extirpated by DFO due to overharvesting, recovery efforts are more urgent than ever.

Join us to hear Jim Shortreed, President of the Herring Conservation & Restoration Society, share insights on the current state of Pacific Herring and what we can do to support their recovery. 🐟 🐟 🐟

When: Wednesday, February 25 at 7:00 PM
Where: Forbes Hall

More details:

We look forward to seeing you there!

Best,

Charlotte
ThINC Education and Stewardship Coordinator.

Movable Cabin for Sale!

Facebook Marketplace link-
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1413087750174768/?mibextid=dXMIcH%3E

Built in sections so it can be moved easily.

-One large room, no bathroom, but could be added
-24'x13'' with 8ft ceilings. (312 sq ft)
-Beautiful Acacia engineered hardwood flooring
-Newer vinyl patio slider door
-Metal roofing
-Lots of natural light
-Sundeck
-Woodstove
-AC unit installed in wall
-face mounted electrical (plugs and ceiling lights)

All of the framing and plywood subfloor have been torched using the Japanese method for preserving wood. It stops the growth of mold and deters bugs from wanting to eat it.

This beautiful cabin can be disassembled and transported. It was designed to do so. I built this cabin 4 yrs ago have been living in it. I love the amount of natural light that can come in from the south- facing windows

For sale price as is (without siding or bathroom)

YOU MOVE IT! OR I am also offering setup on your property for a fee.

It is sitting on 24" patio stones with 2 cinderblocks on each of them, so it sits about a foot off the ground.

Could also be built permanently on a slab if buyer chooses to do so.

Finishing can also be included at my regular contracting rate (fascia, gutters, siding).

I know this cabin inside and out since I built it myself, so I can easily keep it organized and set it up again.

Serious buyers come check it out in person!

Duncan area.

From the Library

There was a lovely dozen eggs in the library office Sunday.
Were they a gift for me or did someone forget them?
