The Thetis Island Community Association (TICA) and the Thetis Island Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Association (TIRRA) offer a variety of community services through volunteer efforts. Both Associations are governed by separate Boards elected by their members.
TICA, which has a charitable status, publishes the Quarterly Magazine, owns and maintains the Forbes Community Centre that includes the library, community recreational and meeting areas as well as the sports court, community garden, children’s play area, computer access site, and kitchen facilities. It is home to worship services and many other activities; additionally, it is the Island’s Emergency Social Services site.
TIRRA administers the garbage, trash and recycling services, the community trail, St. Margaret’s Cemetery and routinely serves as an advocate for the community to a wide range of government agencies including representing us on the BC Ferries Advisory Committee.
These organizations require support from the entire community; both part-time and full-time residents and property owners. Financial assistance is essential. The volunteers who put in many hours holding meetings, managing funds, maintaining records, planning and organizing activities, (including work parties), attending to concerns and issues, writing letters and paying bills, and maintaining their areas of responsibility do so on your behalf. Even when you do not use the services provided, the existence of these services makes Thetis Island a better place to live or visit and enhances property values.
