Coastal Fire Ban

Thetis Island already moved to a Category 2 (open burn/yard waste) ban twenty days ago due to local conditions.  

Now, as of Thursday noon, the Province has moved to a Category 2 ban in all other areas of the Coastal Fire Region.  

Specifically, this prohibition applies to:

the burning of any material (piled or unpiled) smaller than two metres high and three metres wide;

the burning of stubble or grass over an area less than 2,000 square metres;

the use of fireworks, firecrackers, sky lanterns, burning barrels or burning cages of any size or description;

and the use of binary exploding targets (e.g., for rifle target practice)

If you are travelling on Vancouver Island and you see a column of smoke, please report it to 911. There were three bush fires Monday around Crofton, Maple Bay and Duncan area alone, that were quickly extinguished because passers-by called 911.

Here on Thetis Island it is essential that you call 911 if you see daytime smoke that is not originating from a house chimney.  

Thank you for keeping us wildfire safe.

FAC Info

A couple of items of interest and a reminder from your local Ferry Advisory Committee.

Beginning June 1st 2019, BC Ferries will be implementing a 1.5% fuel surcharge.

The BC Ferry Commissioner Sheldon Stoilen has released his preliminary price cap decision for Performance Term (PT) 5 (April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2024). https://www.bcferrycommission.ca/reports-press/whats-new/ His determination is that fares will need to rise by 2.3% annually, through PT-5. The public has until June 30th to submit comments to the Commissioner. The Province has an opportunity to change the level of service or service fee if it would like to mitigate the price cap increases starting in 2020. The Commissioner will determine the final price cap for PT5 by September 30, 2019. 

Finally, a reminder that Dangerous Cargo (DC) is roughly every second Thursday (the next one being June 6th). Sailings affected are the 08:40 from Chemainus for oncoming DC. Departing DC leaves Thetis on the 13:10 sailing, not the 14:40 as it did in years past. The changes to the Dangerous Cargo runs have been driven by the FAC to provide better service to both Islands and to ensure that the mail gets delivered on DC Thursdays.

Any questions, please call...

Thetis Island Volunteer Firefighters Society (TIVFS)

The TIVFS was incorporated on February 28, 2018.  This Society is made up of firefighters and lifetime department members whose purpose is to help fund paramedic and firefighting supplies and equipment.

Earlier this month our application for charitable status was granted by the Canada Revenue Agency. This means the TIVFS can now issue tax receipts for donations and grants received.  Our goal is to reduce the tax burden required to fund the operation of the Thetis Island Volunteer Fire Department. 

The TIVFS is governed by a board comprising of President Alex Rozewicz , Vice President Tom Milliken and Secretary Treasurer Graeme Shelford.  More information about making donations will be available soon.  Please contact one of the board members if you have any questions about the Society.
