Volunteer Call Out ~ Moving & Packing

All Hands on Deck!

After a thoughtful, detailed meeting on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, TICA has signed a contract with J. Lealand Contracting Ltd. of Chemainus to build our Expanded & Upgraded Community Hall.  Angela Quek - Architect, as our CRP, will continue to oversee & manage the contract.

On May 2nd, J Lealand Contracting Ltd. will start mobilizing to the site, and is scheduled to break ground on May 15th. 

With our building permit & contract in hand, we are proceeding with the Packing & Moving of Forbes Hall.  

Forbes Hall’s Final Weekend (April 20...) includes another great Get to the Point, and a re-showing of the Thetis Island Memories slide show on Saturday Evening.  There will continue to be scheduled activities until Monday night.

TICA’s AGM will be held at Forbes Hall on Thursday, April 25th, amongst Packed Boxes and with Limited Services. 

Tuesday through Friday (April 23-25) are our sorting and packing days, while Saturday & Sunday (April 27-28) are our moving and hauling days, as we pack the on-site containers, where almost everything will be stored for the duration of the build. There was a meeting last Sunday, April 14th, determining how the sorting, packing, and moving could be accomplished, with fourteen involved community members attending.  

Sorting & Packing

Lead Volunteers are scheduled to supervise the packing.  We are looking for many volunteers to sort, organize & pack.
