Thank You from Freya

Hi to all my friends and neighbours on Thetis. That’s just about everybody. I am far away now, missing every thing and every body. Before I will tell you about all the perks though, I want to thank everyone who has ever helped me, [and there are lots ] supported me, was kind and thought my friendship. And wasn’t it a great party at the end? Thanks to every one!!!!! But I am not sitting crying in my beer though. I got to buy all new furniture, that was fun, and now I am working on making this place my own. The landscape is great and, will be stunning with snow caps..[ Wait till I have to shovel it } I have found great places close by to walk Billie, unfortunately, my obedient dog is totally out of control if she comes up against one of these huge things. I’ll work on that. In the big park though I have to have bear spray on me. I don’t know what will happen, if I ever meet one. I’m a bit scared of that possibility. As to meeting new people, I have not met any one that resembles a Thetis Islander, but I’ll keep looking.  

Love you all Freya

Hall Rental Fees

It has long been TICA’s practice to encourage the use of Forbes Community Hall for events that are open free-of-charge to the whole community.   Many Thetis Islanders participate in these activities and our community is strengthened. 

There has been some confusion surrounding events that charge an admission.   In response to requests from the community, TICA will now accept hall bookings that are open to the whole community and that encourage community participation, health and well-being.   Sponsors of such bookings will be able to charge fees of their choosing.  TICA’s  rental fee will be waived based on the sponsor’s written explanation of their program’s benefit to the community.

The Thetis Island Community Association is currently raising funds to support the ongoing maintenance and operation of our Community Centre.   Donations can be sent to TICA, PO Box 14-0.  A tax receipt will be sent for all donations over $25.
