Parade Poster Draw

The TIVFD is pleased to announce that ROHAN KAMATH, age 6, is the winner of the random poster draw for the Thetis Island Parade. Because Rohan is 6 years old, he could choose if he wanted a parent or guardian to ride with him in Engine 1 at the head of the parade, and he chose his 8-year-old sister Arana to accompany him. Please wave to Rohan as he passes you by and he will wave back.

The Parade starts at 1:30 pm on the dot from Mission Road, so if you are joining the parade with a float or group, place yourself in the line behind Engine 1 by 1:15 at the very latest. If you are going to the Book & Bake Sale at Forbes Hall on Saturday morning, why not put your parade entry in the lineup early and go and enjoy the delicious lunch that will also be available at Forbes Hall.

The Thetis Island Parade will travel (start at 1:30) from Mission Road, south along North Cove Road and turn left onto Pilkey Point Road, going down the big hill. It will then turn right onto Marina Drive past the boat launch and Telegraph Harbour Marina, go around the corner and take the shady part of Marina Drive back to Pilkey Point, and then back up the big hill and back to the fire hall on Mission Road.

EVERYONE must be aware that there may be other traffic on the road that doesn’t know about the Parade, and to be safe. We need to leave at 1:30 sharp to try to avoid the disembarking ferry traffic at around 2:30.

We are looking forward to fun, sun, safety and laughs. Although Sparky the Fire Dog doesn’t talk, I am sure Sparky will have some treats for the kids along the way if they call out “Hi Sparky”.
