Thetis Island Fire Department ~ Emergency Use of Phonebook

The T I Fire Department uses our Thetis Island telephone book as an immediate and valuable resource during an emergency response.  We may need to contact the owner (and renter) of a Lot in case of a fire on or threatening the property or if we need access during an emergency etc. Please make sure your contact information is up-to-date for the 2018 issue. This will greatly assist us in Fire, medical, or other emergency responses. Thank you.

Fridge Door Left Open ~ AGAIN!

Unfortunately, the door on the fridge at the hall kitchen was left open again. This is the second time in two weeks that this has occurred. We certainly do not want to have to replace this expensive fridge.

There is already a large sign on the fridge door to please 'push shut'. Not sure what else we can do to keep this from happening again.

Please, please, please, let’s take more care when using the hall kitchen.

Note: the fridge has a very good seal, which increases its efficiency.  Just close it all the way, and give a little tug at the end to ensure it is closed.  Every time!!!

Thinking of Retiring to Thetis ~ Info Requested

My husband and I are both retired and feeling like we would love a lifestyle change. We have lived on 5 acres for several years in the past and always chosen to live rurally. For the past year or so we have been thinking that Thetis might be a really good fit for us.

We are interested in hearing what others who live on and or are retired to Thetis see as the challenges and the joys of making their home. We wonder how many people are retired or work from home??? We are very fit and healthy at this point.

We love being part of a community. We would be grateful for any feedback. We have spent several days on your island poking about, cycling, kayaking around and beach combing.

Thanks for your help,

Karen & Art

St. Margaret's Cemetery ~ Danger

With all the wet weather in recent days a major slumping on the bank at the cemetery has occurred.

Until we know it is stabilized we are asking folks to NOT Enter the cemetery. We understand that many of you use the path through the cemetery as a short cut home. We are sorry for the inconvenience but safety is more important.
