Attention, Drivers!

This is the third time that I have seen your vehicle speeding down our roads at highway-like speed.

 

It only takes a split second to change your life, or the lives of another family.

 

Think for a moment.  Have a word with yourself!

 

We have had several accidents on our island that have changed the lives of several families forever and broken the hearts of many Thetis Island residents. Let’s not let history repeat itself.

 

We have speed limits on our roads for a reason. Our roads are winding, and visibility is often obscured.

 

Islanders and tourists ride their bikes on the road, people walk their dogs on the road, there are joggers on the road and our children ride horses and their bicycles on the road. We are no match for a speeding vehicle.

 

For some time now, we have been free from motor vehicle accidents. Let’s work together and continue to keep our island safe from tragedy.

So. SLOW DOWN!     If not for yourself; for others.

WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE! 

This weekend especially, we should be thankful for the safe and beautiful place that we call home. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all Thetis Islanders, your families and your friends.

Keep Healthy!  Keep Safe!
