Why We Need TIRRA...

The TIRRA Transportation Committee
Why do we need this?

The BC Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure (MOTI) are responsible for, and arrange contracts for, the maintenance of all highways in BC. Their priorities are the main most used roads in the province. So the roads on Thetis tend to get ignored until something major happens. The TIRRA Transportation committee can establish good relations with the local MOTI manager and maintain a dialog with him/her that results in them taking a greater interest in the needs on Thetis Island, with positive results regarding yellow line painting, verge mowing, repairs and resurfacing.

The Transportation committee also embraces relations with BC Ferries, and now that BC Ferries have disbanded the Ferry Advisory Committees, this continuing liaison/advocacy through TIRRA is more important than ever. 

Again - imagine life on Thetis without anyone to keep an eye on these basic needs?

Another in the series of short notes on what TIRRA does for us all, and why we need it.

Thank you for reading,

TIRRA Executive Board

Jollity Farm Order Pick-up Arrangements

Caution Slippery Driveway!

Due to the spring popping up in a few places on our driveway there are many very slippery areas that make it dangerous to drive up.

Unless you have a 4x4, great tires and confidence, we suggest you walk up (carefully!) and/or make arrangements with us to leave your orders at our kiosk.

You can call or text Noah at 250.210.7320.

In addition to your dairy, egg and True Grain bread orders there are a few extras for the first folks who request:
4 x 6 packs of extra sesame bagels
Beautiful kale
6 extra salads
3-4 packs of pea shoots

*we aren't picking anything else this week as we don't want to disturb anything else under snow right now.

We have a fresh delivery of your favourite local ice cream and it's probably cold enough to put in a cooler in the kiosk for a short time - Chocolate, Vegan Chocolate, Vanilla, Cinnamon Crunch, Vietnamese Coffee and Mint Chocolate.

Otherwise, you can let us know if you'd like us to put anything aside and can organize pick up on Sunday or Monday as the snow clears.

With thanks,

 Jollity Farmers

New Home Needed for Friendly Furry

My human who loved me, fed me and called me Ruby, is no longer here to do that. I am now looking for a home where I will get fed, loved and petted (I have the softest fur EVER!). Everyone who pets me says that about me.

I am friendly, I love to snuggle up on a warm lap. I also like small dark spaces (closets) and baskets close to a wood stove, where I can sleep during my nap time.

I have lots of character, in good health and I love being outside in the yard/garden and walking with people. My best animal friend was a golden Lab.

Please consider adopting me so we can get to know one another.

Contact this number by text or phoning 604 845 9142
If no one answers, please leave a message.

Respectfully,

Looking for Another Grounds Volunteer—Forbes Hall Community Centre

We are looking for another volunteer to back up our existing volunteer who maintains lawn areas and other aspects of grounds care at Forbes Hall.

A volunteer who likes gardening and has a lawnmower or grass trimmer is needed every second week through the growing season, for about 3 hours.

TICA will be purchasing an electric lawnmower if you would prefer to use it rather than your own.

Please contact Don Sinclair at sinry@telus.net or Paul Duncan at 250-246-6623 for more information.
