Dog Needs Home

I am seeking a loving safe home for my small senior debarked dog. He's very low maintenance and eats little. Quiet, clean and a pretty awesome guy. Goes by the name of Burky. Thank you for any leads you may have.

BC Ferries ~ 30% Savings

BC Ferries announces 30% savings on regular passenger fares.

Choose from over 1,500 select sailings on all routes from March 10 - 29

VICTORIA – BC Ferries announced today that a fleetwide pricing promotion of 30 per cent off regular passenger fares will be in effect from March 10 – 29. Passengers travelling on select sailings will receive the discount off the regular passenger fare. The promotional discount is applicable on adult, child, BC Senior, student and persons with disabilities regular passenger fares. On South Coast Routes, the 30 per cent discount will be in effect Monday through Thursday and Saturdays on select sailings from March 10 - 29. 

On North Coast Routes including Port Hardy – Prince Rupert, Prince Rupert – Haida Gwaii and Alliford Bay – Skidegate routes as well as the Discovery Coast connector, the 30 per cent discount will apply on every sailing from March 10 - 29. “We’re pleased to offer this discount for families to take advantage of as they plan their spring break getaways,” said Janet Carson, BC Ferries’ Vice President of Marketing and Travel Services. “At the same time, it allows us to gather information about how customers respond to variable pricing options as we prepare strategies for the launch of our Fare Flexibility and Digital Experience Initiative next year.” Experience™ Card users who receive a year-round discount that is less than 30 per cent will have their discount increased to match the promotional fare. Experience™ Card users who receive a year-round discount that is in excess of 30 per cent will remain at their current discount level. This promotion allows those customers who do not participate in the Experience™ Card program an opportunity to travel at a discounted rate. Space on the select promotional sailings is on a first-come, first-serve basis. Reservations are recommended to ensure a spot on the sailing of choice. For more details about the 30 per cent passenger promotion, visit bcferries.com. 

This off-peak pricing promotion will not apply on Thursday, March 24 and Easter Monday, March 28 as these are already traditionally busy days for ferry travel. Under contract to the Province of British Columbia, BC Ferries is the service provider responsible for the delivery of safe, efficient and dependable ferry service along coastal British Columbia.

BC Medical Association ~ Article about Teddy Suiker

Click here to view a lovely article in the BC Medical Association Journal about Dr. Teddy Suiker. I thought it might be of interest to people on Thetis Island.

I have not had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Suiker, but have heard so many wonderful stories about her. I am the new owner of her home and also a physician.

Nature Club Leader Wanted

Dear Thetis Islanders,

I am writing to inquire after finding a replacement leader for the Nature Kids B.C club chapter that I had worked on getting started for Thetis Island and Penelakut Island. I have been given a deadline of March 15th to find a leader before the program will be closed. If anyone is interested in picking up where I left off, please contact me. I believe this would be an excellent way to invest in the young minds of both communities.

Kindly

Airi

P.S I miss all of you wonderful Thetis Islanders.

Wanted: Old Wood Exterior Door

Please email telwestconsulting@gmail.com
or call Adam at 709-769-5194
