March for the Children: August 5th 2024

It would be great to see if we can get a turnout like our latest ceremony at the Salt Marsh!!! 

To join in the march, please catch the 0755h ferry on Monday, August 5th.

Survivors share stories about the sad and short lives of these children who missed out on a life like that we have taken for granted. Penelakut Tribe shares Indigenous music, dancing and a bagged lunch sponsored by Kw'umut lelum. For more insight on this event, don't hesitate to contact me or a member of our TCA-IEWG (Thetis Community Assembly - Indigenous Engagement Working Group) &/or you can listen to the Kuper podcast found at. x Kuper Island with Duncan McCue https://www.cbc.ca/listen/cbc-podcasts/1062-kuper-island?onboarding=false.”

The People’s Apothecary Garden - Plant of the Week #18 - Rosemary

A humble herb in which most people are familiar with for its culinary uses, but few know of its medicinal properties. Rosemary is a rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds and is used to boost the immune system, improve circulation, and aid in digestion - among other benefits! Fun fact - the first mention of rosemary is found on cuneiform stone tablets as early as 5000 BCE!

Traveling from Sidney or Victoria to Thetis on the 30th?

Hello community,

We’ve got a good friend traveling to Thetis on Tuesday the 30th, and she’s hoping to find a lift from the Sidney area (or Victoria) to the Thetis ferry terminal.

Traveling with a bag and small carry-on suitcase. She’ll chip in for gas and is great company!

Please let us know if you can help, and many thanks!

Parade Picture Contest

Kids, you have a terrific chance of having your poster win the contest…the fire department hasn’t received one entry yet.  That means if you get your drawing of you riding in a fire truck on an letter sized paper, and you write your name and your parents’ contact information on the back, and you get it into the poster box in front of the firehall before 6 p.m. Wednesday, you will have a much better chance of getting to ride in the Fire Engine at the front of the parade next Saturday.  You have to be 12 years old or younger to enter.  Younger than 6 years old?  No problem…a parent or older sibling can ride with you if you win.]

Contest ends Wednesday 6 pm.

Goosey Gander Sho

The Goosey Gander Shop will be open Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4pm both days.
Thanks to all the wonderful items brought in by Thetis Islanders and all you happy shoppers, the Shop has now re-homed 1681 items since opening last summer!

This week more new treasures from Thetis and around the world have arrived, including an excellent quality case of antique drafting tools, a butter churn and an upright vacuum.

From afar there is an ocarina from Chile, an opium bottle from China, a worry stone from Zimbabwe, a black lace fan from Spain, and three exquisitely detailed tiny miniature scenes from El Salvador. There’s also more earrings, fun dishes and casseroles and a vintage Trivial Pursuit game. Come have a look!

Thank you,
