Monday, April 27, 2015 at 10:52PM We were at our property at 408 Kenwood this past weekend (April 18th) and found that we had been broken into as well. A bedroom window had been forced open and our alcohol and power tools were taken.

Sunday, April 26, 2015 at 11:04AM TOGETHER WE ARE PREPARED!
Join the TIVFD, Thetis Island ESS, Thetis Island LERN, ARCTIC, and the Ministry of Forests for an important and informative Wildfire Preparedness Seminar at Forbes Hall Community Centre, 10:30 to noon on Saturday, May 2nd.
Information on how to prepare your property, what a local wildfire response entails, evacuation procedures, and much more. Some great short videos from Fire Smart Canada will be shown, giving you ideas on how to reduce your risk of loss during a wildfire invent.
We invite questions for the panel. There will be information pamphlets to guide you on wildfire loss mitigation and other fire prevention information.
Please join us. This is the only workshop of this kind on Thetis Island this year and you will want to attend to make sure you are prepared for a long, hot and dry summer that brings an increased risk of wildfire. Saturday May 2nd is NATIONAL WILDFIRE COMMUNITY PREPAREDNESS DAY and we are hoping to reach as many people as possible on Thetis Island with this event.
Sunday, April 26, 2015 at 11:03AM April has been busy with two activities very close to my heart.
1. Completion of the Cancer Canvassing by April 30th. As always, The Island has been most generous. There are a few more days left if we have missed you and you still wish to contribute.
2. I hope to have all of the collection of 'Memories of Teddy' in by mid-May. Please send me a memory or adventure that you may have of our Dear Teddy.
Most Appreciated,
Merry Gooding

Sunday, April 26, 2015 at 11:00AM On a few occasions we have received supposed “International Calls” .
However, on our Call Display these “International Calls” appear as local Phone numbers; I.E., 250-246-XXXX, or Area Code 905 (Ontario) 905-XXX-XXXX.
Upon investigation, we found that these numbers are non-working local phone numbers that have somehow been accessed by an “overseas” party.
No doubt, there is some SCAM connected to these calls.
We have been advised to; Not answer these calls, and to then BLOCK the number if you have that phone option. For TELUS BLOCKING, Press *98 than Press 8-6. The prompt will tell you how to BLOCK numbers.
