TICA ~ TIRRA Fees

The Thetis Island Community Association (TICA) and the Thetis Island Residents’ and Ratepayers’ Association (TIRRA) offer a variety of community services through volunteer efforts. Both Associations are governed by separate Boards elected by their members. 

TICA, which has a charitable status, publishes the Quarterly Magazine, owns and maintains the Forbes Community Centre that includes the library, community recreational and meeting areas as well as the sports court, community garden, children’s play area, computer access site, and kitchen facilities. It is home to worship services and many other activities; additionally, it is the Island’s Emergency Social Services site. 

TIRRA administers the garbage, trash and recycling services, the community trail, St. Margaret’s Cemetery and routinely serves as an advocate for the community to a wide range of government agencies including representing us on the BC Ferries Advisory Committee.

These organizations require support from the entire community; both part-time and full-time residents and property owners. Financial assistance is essential. The volunteers who put in many hours holding meetings, managing funds, maintaining records, planning and organizing activities, (including work parties), attending to concerns and issues, writing letters and paying bills, and maintaining their areas of responsibility do so on your behalf. Even when you do not use the services provided, the existence of these services makes Thetis Island a better place to live or visit and enhances property values. 

Click here to access the Fee Form.

The fees are being collected for both Associations by TICA. Kindly make your cheques out to TICA. TICA Note: When we receive your fee payment you will be added to the Membership List and become eligible to receive the ever-popular Thetis Island Quarterly Magazine. Additional contributions are welcome. TICA will be happy to issue tax receipts promptly for donations in excess of the membership fee.

Please direct your payment to:

Box 14-0, Thetis Island,

Forbes Hall ~ Kitchen

While working at Soup's On this week, we noticed a couple of things.
 
First, one of the cream/milk jugs is missing from the kitchen.  I'm guessing that sometime between the last Soup's On on December 18th, and now, one of them went home with someone after an event.  If you had an event during this time, please check for the jug.  It is 1 litre, glass, with a white plastic lid.  Return to the hall kitchen if you find it!  Thanks.
Secondly, there is a weird collection of food stuffs in the storage area fridge's freezer.  Please remove these items, or clearly mark in sharpie what they are there for.  We'll clean out the fridge in the near future of extraneous things.
Thanks for helping us keep things organized!

Ride Needed from Nanaimo to Thetis

I'm traveling back from Europe on Monday 13th January, and I was wondering whether anyone was driving from Nanaimo to Thetis that afternoon and could give me a ride?

I'm landing in Vancouver at 12.30 noon so will probably be in Nanaimo around 5pm.

Thanks :)
