At Saturday’s TIRRA (Thetis Island Residents and Ratepayers Association) AGM there was some confusion regarding funding for the Ferry Webcam. To clarify, here is some background information.
TICA (Thetis Island Community Association) has provided funding over the years for the webcam and upgrades, with the revenue from the advertisements on the webcam site being a fundraising initiative for TICA.
None of this would be possible without the consent of Capernwray to have the webcam on their property, and Tim French, Veronica Shelford and others for their technical support over the years. The convenience and service the webcam provides is very valuable to the Thetis community.
An upgrade to the webcam was completed in early 2024 and the invoice was paid by TIRRA, with TICA being unaware of either the invoice or payment. With this information now being shared, TICA will pay for the upgrade.

With thanks,
TICA Board
