Soup’s On: Wednesday, October 28th

11:30 am until 1:00 pm

Gather Once Again at Forbes Hall for a very Thetis Island lunch!

Menu:

• Tomato Basil Soup made with Thetis Island tomatoes (vegetarian)
• Beef Hot Dogs - until they run out or
• Sliced Baguettes
• Assorted Baked Goodies
• Teas / 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 Library.

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

St. Margaret's Cemetery Rain Garden Project Starts This Thursday

The long-awaited rain garden project at St. Margaret's Cemetery will begin this Thursday, October 29th, managed by Raincoast Earthworks. The project is expected to take a few weeks to complete.

Important Parking Notice:

Machinery on site: Trucks and large heavy machinery will be operating in the parking area.

Keep area clear: Please keep the parking lot entirely clear of vehicles starting Thursday and throughout the duration of the work.

Project Overview :

This project marks an important step in environmental stewardship and the expansion of natural burial areas. A 48m x 10m corridor along the northern border (shared with Capernwray Bible Centre) will be transformed using shallow depressions, rock, and native plants to naturally manage water runoff, reduce surface erosion, and remove invasive blackberries.

Dear clients of Thetis Island, 

Please be aware of the necessity to keep the status of your pet’s rabies vaccinations current. 

Recent findings of rabies in the bat population both in the Cowichan Valley and very recently highlighted in the Lower Mainland demand consideration.
