Mainroad Information

Regarding the spray patching on Thetis roads, drive slowly and please be aware of loose gravel until it is swept off. If you happen to get a few spots on your vehicles, it is water based and comes off well with WD40.

Also paving is scheduled for June 16th & 17th, weather permitting.

thanks from Mainroad

Laptop for Ethiopia

I am helping a Sudanese refugee in Addis Ababa get some training through the British Council courses.

Please contact me at gedworks@islandnet.com or at 250-246-8176.

Ride Needed to Thetis from Buckley Bay

My friend John Gilmore will be looking after our place while Ann and I are in the Yukon. He's on Denman at the moment and is looking for a ride from Buckley Bay to Thetis on June 12 or 13. If anyone is up-Island and would be able to pick him up, you can send him a message at the following email address: jn_gilmore@yahoo.ca 

You'll enjoy John's company. He's a charming man and a fine writer and storyteller.

Cheers,
