On November 7th, all Chairs of the different Thetis Island associations/societies, Islands Trustees, the CVRD Director-elect, and invited members of several committees attended the initial meeting of the Thetis Island Community Leaders Forum. The evening gathered those who are active members of our community through their roles within the associations and societies that shape our life here on Thetis.
The discussions ranged from climate change, reconciliation, road and dock safety to volunteer efficiencies. Three broad topics started the discussions, and they narrowed down from there. It was an excellent way to have conversations with those with diverse perspectives or initiatives.
Thetis Island Community Leaders Forum meetings will continue to be limited to the representatives of recognized community associations or societies, large commercial entities and our elected officials.
We look forward to the next meeting in the New Year and will share key discussion points with the community.
