Looking for a Copy of June 29th Courier

If anyone still has a copy of the June 29th Chemainus Valley Courier and is willing to pass it on, we'd love to have it. Apparently has an interview with Kaz but we never got to see it. If drop boxing it works, we are Box 12-9.

Thank you!

Have Fun Playing Pickleball!

Pickleball is scheduled on Mondays and Fridays at 9:00am at the community hall tennis courts. The time has been moved to 9:00 because of the warmer weather. Play usually lasts until 10:00am but if a big crowd shows up we can play longer. Come and learn to play this relatively easy and fun game.

Welcome Package for New Islanders

As part of the new "Welcome to Thetis Island" package being developed we wonder if there are any businesses out there who would like to offer a small gift certificate to be included in the package. This can be a great way to introduce new folks to your services. Please contact me if you are interested or have any questions.

Sincerely,

Roadside Grasses

Grant Gordon, our great roadways works manager on Thetis, called the TIVFD to say the mower isn't coming back to mow the road edges before we get a lot of rain. 

With the fire risk from tossed cigarette butts, hot exhaust when parking on tall grass, and sparks, we are asking that if you have the time and the ability please weed whack or mow your road frontage edge.  This will help lower the fire risk. 

Some of our property owners already do that as a safety courtesy to our many walkers, and thank you for that.
