Project Trailer

I brought over a 22’ nomad travel trailer with intentions to gut and turn into a bunkhouse. It is 80% gutted. A/C and water tanks still intact. The frame would be great for a tiny house/utility trailer/car hauler. 

Brakes and lights work. 

Almost new trailer tires. 

Free to anyone who would like it. 127 Pilkey Point Rd.

Thanks.

ACT Information from July 25th Meeting

ACT group would like to express our thanks to all of you who attended the talk on July 25th. The excellent attendance shows us that the residents of Thetis Islands are not indifferent to what is happening in the waters surrounding the island and stimulates us for the continuation of our work. Our thanks also go to the ThINC group for inviting us to the Nature House. 

For those of you who were not able to attend I have published our presentation on our website https://www.acthetis.com/act-presentations  You are invited to read it there. One of our activities presented at the talk are the petitions asking to eliminate anchorages in Southern Gulf Islands addressed to the federal and provincial governments. If you would like to sign the petitions please contact Kathryn Kennedy, Gok Sarioglu, Doug Fenton or me.
