Improvement District Trustees Election

Good morning.

I would like to acknowledge that this year's trustees election is far from normal for our community and seems to be happening on short notice. The first notice of a possible election was on eSPOKES, Thursday July 30th. As per July 30 posting regarding voting protocols. I do appreciate that some Islanders are unable to change plans in order to participate in the election. During our deliberations and planning with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing we were strongly encouraged to separate the AGM and the Trustees election.   

Drive-By Poll 

The TIVFD will be providing traffic control!

Please come by car to the Fire Hall to cast your TIID Trustee election ballot between 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM. 

Please bring your own pen.

Drive up to receive a ballot. 

Please choose 2 out of 3 candidates indicated on the election ballot. 

Have your name checked off and then drop your ballot in the ballot box.

Then drive to the end of the road, turn around, and drive out again. 

For those Thetis Island property owners that are eligible to vote and not on the list, a Statutory Declaration form will be provided. 

Voter Eligibility:

Persons entitled to vote at an Improvement District election must meet all of the following requirements:

• A Canadian citizen.

• Over eighteen years of age.

• On title as an owner of land in the Improvement District.

• A resident of the Province of BC for the prior six months, or legal representative of an owner of land in the Improvement District who has died, become insolvent or insane.

To stagger traffic and prevent significant lines, try to arrive between the times below based on your last name: 

•A – G between 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM 

•H – O between 11:00 AM - 12:00 NOON 

•P – Z between 12:00 NOON - 1:00 PM 

If the above time really doesn’t work for you or you have multiple people, just come when it works best. 

Safe hygiene procedures will be followed throughout the election process
