Christmas and Holiday Songbook

There's a project underway to produce an enlarged version of the songbook of carols and other holiday songs that we have used the last couple of years at Forbes Hall.  Just to be sure we haven't left out anyone's favourite, you can check it out at http://thetisisland.net/ftp/Christmas_Holiday_Songbook_2017_DRAFT.pdf  and if there's something of general interest that we've missed, or any other comments, please let me know.  I'll be sending it to the printers by the end of the week, so please do so quickly if you're going to.  Thanks!

BC Ferries: Temporary Vessel Replacement

On Sunday, November 12, the MV Kuper will be removed from service for Operational Readiness Exercises and crew training, as of the 2:40 pm sailing from Thetis Island. The MV Quinitsa will commence service on the Chemainus-Thetis-Penelakut route at this time.

The MV Quinitsa has a higher vehicle carrying capacity than the MV Kuper which will ensure a comparable or higher level or service for our customers.

The MV Kuper will return to the Chemainus-Thetis-Penelakut route on Tuesday, November 14 as of the 12:15 pm sailing from Chemainus.
