2014 Candlestick Award

We are happy to announce that this year's Candlestick Award recipient is Donna Stadt who graciously helps out when needed, or when some behind the scene’s organization needs doing! Thanks, Donna, for all you do for our community.  Past recipients surprised Donna Stadt on June 4^th, with a cake and a couple of bottles of bubbly, accompanying the pair of crystal candlesticks, which will be gracing Donna’s table for the next year. 

Past recipients: Shirley Burr, Cecilia Inness, Petra Accipiter, Lynn Hunter, Veronica Shelford, Sue French, Gloria Taylor, Ann Dickie & Simone Luckham.  This year all past recipients were able to attend the surprise visit ~ hopefully more photos to follow.  This award was initiated by Barbara Williamson to recognize the women volunteers who quietly work behind the scenes to enrich our community.

A happy troupe on their way to surprise Donna ~

Muscovy Ducklings for Sale

For sale: Muscovy ducklings:

hatched August 21

One duck is buff/blue, the other duck is pure white and the drake is black/blue with some lacing. Should be an interesting mix! All from unrelated stock.

Super cute and a wide variety of colours.

Ducklings need a heat lamp for the first few weeks.

Muscovies do not need a pond (and they will wreck yours if you have a nice, decorative one!) but they do need access to a water container large enough to dip their heads.

Great slug and mosquito eaters, and they are decent layers of large eggs. I hear they are good meat ducks too but haven't tried it ourselves yet.

$7 each

Call 250-246-9717 or ask Kevin at the post office.

Water Shortage Information

Here is an interesting article on the ground water situation in California and other places. I think that it could be instructive for all Thetis Island property owners - we are basically in the same situation and care should be taken when using our ground water resources.
