Save the Date! Robbie Burns Dinner, Sunday January 25th, 2026

This year will be our 3rd, post covid Robbie Burns event. Always a sellout. Come enjoy a very traditional Scottish meal, highland music and dancing.

This year we're excited to have champion piper Sandy Adams returning, the Kathy White Dancers with her full troupe. In addition, we are in discussions with some new performers - stay tuned.

Dinner service will be provided by Chef Murray and his crew. The bar service will again feature delights from Scotland.

We are also looking for participation from Islanders; there are a number of short speaking parts. If anyone is interested in joining in the pageantry, please contact me.

Tickets will be available in the new year.

Women Together, Polar Bear Swim

January 1st • Sunrise Point

Time to be announced...

Start the New Year surrounded by the strength, warmth, and laughter of women in community.

This gathering is a celebration of our bodies, our resilience, and the shared truth that we made it through another year. It’s an invitation to enter 2026 supported, encouraged, and seen.

Let’s celebrate the place we call home as we step into the cold ocean together—supporting one another, laughing through the shock, and greeting the ocean as a friend..

Whether you take the plunge or stay cozy by the fire, you belong here.

What to Wear? Whatever feels right for you: a wetsuit, bathing suit or your nature suit. All choices are the right choice.

If You’re Not Swimming, bring a chair, a warm parka, and settle beside the fire to enjoy the camaraderie, connection, and shared joy.

Athenia will be serving her Thetis Island famous Blossom & Bark Home-Foraged Tea.

Please bring your own cup — we’re keeping this earth-friendly.

To honour safety, comfort, and shared experience, this gathering is women-only, with no men in attendance.

More information will be shared in another post as we get closer to the date.

Questions? You’re welcome to text, email, or message me on Facebook.

Looking for a Sewing Basket for Christmas Gift

My 13-yr-old granddaughter is getting a sewing machine for Christmas from her parents. I'm wanting to give her a sewing basket and some accessories to go with it. All the sewing baskets I am finding in stores are plastic and unattractive. If anyone has a wicker or fabric/wicker sewing basket in good shape you don't want or need, I'd be happy to purchase it from you.
You can contact me at 250-246-8176 or email me at ann.eriksson4@gmail.com. Thanks!
