Cool Girls Nature Club is Back

For the brave and almost brave women on Thetis Island.

After swimming in so many different places over the summer, I’m happy to be home. Nothing is more beautiful than our little island!

Let’s get together this Saturday at 9 a.m. at Pilkey Point for some ocean time and a chance to reconnect.

I know you’re out there! I’ve talked to so many of you who’ve told me you really want to come. I know you do. I’m talking to you. Yes, YOU

This is a very small, casual group. Sometimes it’s just me! So there’s absolutely no need to feel intimidated or worry about fitting in. There’s no big crowd, no pressure, and no expectations. Come swim, paddle, dip a toe, sit by the water with a cuppa, or simply enjoy a little ocean air. Women of all ages, shapes, sizes, and swimming abilities are welcome.

Wetsuit, bathing suit, or birthday suit, whatever makes you comfortable! Water boots and gloves can make the experience much more comfortable as the water cools.

A little fun fact: Starting your cold-water swimming journey in autumn means you can ease into the cooler temperatures and build confidence gradually, rather than waiting until February and wishing you’d started sooner. Why miss out on all those months of ocean time?

Afterwards, you’re very welcome to join me at the marina for coffee around 9:45 a.m. Or feel free to head off on your merry way. It’s entirely up to you!

So, let’s start. Let’s do it! There’s no better time than Saturday morning at nine. The ocean is waiting, and I’d love to see you there.

Elite Willowbrook 250-533-9347. Call or text with questions.

Thank you for Your Support

Thank you, Thetis and surrounding islands, for electing me as one of the two Local Trust Area Trustees. I want to congratulate Terry Martin and Jim Senetza for their campaigns. Even though they did not win at the ballot box they invigorated the campaign with their ideas. Congratulations also to Ken Hunter, who easily topped the polls as the incumbent, and I look forward to working with him over the next four years.

The two all-candidates meetings demonstrated that islanders wish to be involved in the Trust, and I commit to improving communication between the Islands Trust and our community. I also commit to fulfilling the Trust's purpose of preserving and protecting our islands' unique amenities and environment while doing my part to ensure the Islands Trust is fiscally responsible.

I look forward to the next four years as your representative. Thanks again for your support.

David Reay
