Monday, March 2, 2015 at 8:02PM Dave and I would like to thank everyone for your cards and well wishes upon his retirement. It has meant a lot to us.
While he is no longer with B.C. Ferries he will still be busy with our excavating business. It is not in his nature to be idle.
Thanks again, Thetis Islanders.

Friday, February 27, 2015 at 6:43AM Did you know that the 'nettle' and 'net' share a linguistic root because nettle fiber made the strongest fishing nets? So which came first, the nettle or the net??? In fact some linguistic historians think that nets are named after the plant, rather than the other way around.
Here is this week's featured recipe, which I haven't tried yet but plan to this weekend!

Thursday, February 26, 2015 at 10:20PM A great day to all Islanders!
I was serenaded by two resident song birds at breakfast this morning. They sat proudly on my deck railing. I am certain that I heard them whisper "spring is just around the corner".
We have been blessed with wonderful warm and sunny days of late. The daffodils and such that we planted from TICA's Autumn Plant and Bulb Sale last season are up, and some of the little guys are now dancing in the sunshine. It is so nice to see colour in the gardens after what seems like endless days of rain. Let's keep Thetis Island in BLOOM this season.
Earlier this month, order forms for TICA's SPRING PLANT SALE were put in each mailbox. Just a reminder that the DEADLINE for ordering from the supplier is coming up. Please fill out the forms and pop the form and a cheque in the mail to
LESLEY BUHR Box 2-1.
Your plants will be available for PICKUP on May 16 between 10am and 1pm at Forbes Hall.
Buy a little; buy a lot! All proceeds from this PLANT SALE go to improving and maintaining Forbes Hall and surrounding grounds. TICA thanks you in advance for your continued generosity and support.
Warmest regards,
Lesley Buhr

Tuesday, February 24, 2015 at 6:59AM Brian Hollingshead the chair of FACC has done his usual outstanding job of summarizing the month's results; please his summary here. Additionally he has expanded on how BCF traffic continues to fall while all other BC indicators are rising.
Route 20 (Chemainus-Thetis-Penelakut) vehicle traffic was up 3.67% for the month resulting in a YTD loss of -0.54%. Passenger traffic was also up for the month at 7.42% resulting in a YTD loss of -2.35%. My theory for the increased traffic was the tremendous turn out for the celebration of life for our dear Gwen Hunter on January 24th.
Best Regards
Keith Rush Route 20 FAC.
