Public Letter of Thanks

Public Letter of Thanks to the Ferry Advisory Committee & Others 

The boards of both the Thetis Island Community Association and the Community Fund sincerely thank Keith Rush, Steve Frankel, Arthur Hunter, Sue French, Ken Hunter, David Knowles and Bill Dickie for dedicating hours of research and work into the re-working our Ferry Schedule.  This work resulted in a schedule that not only works well for islanders, but also went above and beyond what was mandated by the BC Government. 

It is because of these additional savings that we have a 5% reduction in our fares. Additionally, our island (Penelakut as well), have each received a truly surprising investment in our community by BC Ferries, of $100,000.  This money is in recognition of what was owed to the communities for the previous two years.

The Community Fund and the Community Association will honour this gift, and see that it is used to its fullest potential for expanding our well-used and much-loved Forbes Hall.
