Absentia from Thetis ~ Dr. Randle

I have been asked by a colleague with a grave illness to provide Locum veterinary services in Iqaluit, Nunavut from April 13th through July 17th.

Unfortunately and regretfully, I will not be able to provide veterinary attention for islanders between these dates.

from the Library ~ Sale ~ Saturday, April 4th

Set aside this Saturday, April 4 from 10 - 2 for the SPRING BOOK SALE and TICA CAFE. 

Lots of great books for summer reading and good treats from the TICA cafe.  This year we will have a contest to guess the jellybeans in the jar.

This event keeps up the library budget and supports the community hall. 

The last of the TICF donation for the Children's section of the library has been spent and the books are ready to be borrowed.

A few of the new materials:

Fantastic Mr. Fox  dvd

Where the Wild Things Are  dvd

Cloudy with a chance of meatballs dvd

Hook  dvd

The Giver  dvd

O Brother where art thou?  dvd

Thanks for supporting your local library.

Ping Pong cancelled this Friday

There will be no ping-pong this Friday evening due to preparations for the Library book sale.  Sunday's afternoon session will be doubly vigorous to make up for the idleness.

Mosquito Control Information Page

Following a mosquito infested summer of 2014, TIRRA and members of the Thetis Island Community started to research and offer ideas for Mosquito Control so that we can enjoy our beautiful Thetis summers.  

A page has been set up of documents, measures, and ideas to inform us of what is being done, what could be done in the future, and what we can all do to help in controlling this pest.  Any tips or information you want to share, please send to editor@thetisblog.net.
