Housing Needed for Penelakut Teacher

Hi,

I’m a new teacher on Penelakut Island. I am currently commuting from Saltspring and Victoria, depending on the day, and I’m looking for something to rent to minimize the commute. I would love an affordable, small rental. Somewhere I could stay a few nights during the week while I’m working. I am in my mid 40’s, I’m quiet, respectful, I love to garden and I always leave a space better than I found it. I do have a large, quiet and calm dog and take him to work with me. If you have something that you’re open to renting please get in touch. 

Thank you.

Tree Removal

I have a dangerous tall maple tree that will require a tree cutter with a “bucket” truck.

Can anyone on Thetis Island recommend a nearby business that could remove my tree?

And is there anyone who would also need such a service and would like to share the cost in the week after Thanksgiving, assuming, of course, that I can find someone that quickly?

Please e-mail me @ czech-us-out@telus.net or phone 604-980-2291

(Sorry! This would be long-distance from Thetis!)

Topical Prescription Dewormer for Cats

I have 4 expensive, prescription, Profender topical cat dewormer doses for a large sized cat (purple 5.1-8.0KG), that just expired in August. 

Dosage is once every 30 days for intestinal parasite infections. 

Free to anyone (cat :) who could use them.
