Road Safety Reward

Your Volunteer Fire Department and Telegraph Harbour Marina are pleased to announce we have partnered together to reward good road safety behaviour this summer.

If you are biking with a helmet and using proper arm signals, or you are walking safely on the correct side of the road, or even driving your vehicle and coming to a complete stop at our few stop signs and signalling your intention to turn, you might be stopped by a volunteer Fire Fighter who will hand you a card for a free ice cream cone at Telegraph Harbour Marina.

Thanks to all of you who already model great road safety behaviour. Our roads are busier, visiting drivers may be more distracted and not used to no shoulders, and rural driving at the posted speed of 50 kmph seems inconvenient to some.

Let’s share the roads safely. And perhaps we can share an ice cream cone with you.

Cedar Shakes Available

I have incredibly large piles of 1”+ thick cedar shakes which were taken off the roof last summer. All are dry, contain nails in some cases, and ready to burn.

Enough here to satisfy your kindling needs for years to come.

I’m on Hudson island. You must come and collect.

Old RV or Tent Trailer or Trailer Wanted

We are looking for a small RV 10-14FT trailer, Tent Trailer or basic trailer (only needs to travel 10 more miles in its life) that someone could donate for a Thetis Community project we are building. 

We would be gutting it so the inside condition is not an issue, basically a box is what we need. A little rot is not a problem, mould would be a problem. Alternatively a trailer that we could build a box on would work.

Call us to see if what you have would work.

Thanks.

Summer Buddies

Anyone have kids who are looking for friends to hang out with in the first 3 weeks of August?  

My family will be visiting Thetis, staying at my father-in-law's place on Pilkey Point Rd, and I know my 8 year old twin girls would love to connect with others for beach & forest exploration, art-making, and general chat and play! 

Our girls can be shy at first but are super fun and social once they get going.  

Email me at ellenannhadley@gmail.com or text at 587-228-1484 if you'd like to connect!

Thanks so much!

Coastal Fire Centre Weather Forecast

We are in EXTREME Fire Danger Class. On the Wildfire Maps we are now in RED. No outdoor fires permitted (except for propane appliances).

Weather Forecast

SYNOPSIS: A ridge of high-pressure continues to be anchored offshore in the Pacific and will stay there for the next several days. We continue to see a SW flow over the Coastal Fire Centre with a slight increase in winds Friday afternoon. Temperatures will continue to be above seasonal for most of CoFC with many spots in the south into the 30s. With those hotter temperatures minimum RH values will be in the 20-30% range for those southern areas. Low pressure will run along the eastern edge of the ridge of high pressure keeping any precipitation east of CoFC. There is some potential for weak thunderstorms to move into the Pemberton zone Friday afternoon, any lightning will be wet.

OUTLOOK: Saturday to Monday: The current pattern holds steady into and through the weekend. A SW flow overall continues with a return to seasonal temperatures which will continue into next week. This temperature drop will also give the fire centre an increase in minimum RH. Winds will be light to moderate through the weekend. It continues to be mostly dry, with a chance of some thunderstorms or just rain developing along the eastern edge of CoFC Saturday thru Monday. If these turn out to be storms, it’s expected to produce wet lightning. It’s more likely it will just be some light showers with minimal accumulation.
