Huge thanks from TICA

Huge thank you from TICA to community contractors and others

The Thetis Island Community Association executive board would like to express appreciation for significant volunteer contributions from local contractors for recent upgrades to the parking area and vehicle access to Forbes Hall.

Thanks in particular Sjoe van Kleef of Thetis Island Property Services.  Many hours of man and machine time were donated by Dave Knowles, Ralf Kempe (Capernwray), Ian Ralston (Trax Developments), Art Hunter (Generation 4 Contracting), Jean Essminger, Joe Knowles, Steve Howard and myself.

It’s safe to say that this project would not have proceeded without this generous collaborative effort!

Sincerely,

Ron Bannister, project coordinator

Peacock Attendant ~ Ferry Dock

This peacock has been using the ferry dock as his home for several weeks now.  He seems lonely, probably doesn't even know that there are two peahens without a fellow on Penelakut.  Please be careful when driving next to him, as he tends to monitor the traffic very closely.  Does anyone know to whom he belongs, if in fact he has an owner?
