Sunday, February 1, 2015 at 9:20AM Hello Thetis Island families,
On Monday February 9th Sally Hart will be doing a workshop for children on local First Nations legends.
The Thetis Island Homeschoolers have arranged for her to come to the community centre at 1:30 Monday February 9th. Monday February 9th is Family Day so we thought it would be nice to extend an invite to the community since the local school children will not be in regular classes.
Please RSVP so we can have supplies available for you . This is not a drop off program so we prefer adults to stay with young children. Older children may be allowed to attend alone with permission.

Location: Forbes Hall
Date: February 16, 2015
Time: 5:00 pm
Thursday, January 29, 2015 at 10:44AM Today I received a (E-Mail) letter from the office of; Hon. Jean Crowder, MP/Nanaimo-Cowichan.
It appears that Hon MP Crowder has been following up on related issues, as well as some of the same complaints from numerous residents in the Cowichan Valley.
I have been sent copies of letters between Minister Moore’s office and MP Crowder’s concerning Hi-Speed access issues.
In the letter from Minister Moore’s office it states the Federal Government is committed to having rural areas have accessibility to Hi-Speed (broadband) networks.
Who know when, or if we will ever have our concerns addressed, but at least we are still on the “Map”, so to speak. I felt it can’t hurt to keep sending letters to members of our government. I have also been in contact, once again, with senior management of TELUS. Though, these communications are going no where.
As I said; It is TELUS-Nothing, where the future is NOT friendly. The last comment from TELUS management was, and I quote; “We consider this matter closed”.
I responded; “Well, you may consider closed, but we surely don’t”.
This OTHER comment from TELUS should really get you fuming; “Does Thetis Island want charity from TELUS”! That was a verbatim quote
Well, who knows, keep the faith as they say, and, there is an election coming soon!

From The “Dark Side”
Comment from "Jim" ~ Did you ask Shaw to service the island?
Response from Steve: No one does, not Shaw, not Rogers, not Bill-Bob's Phone Co, Ltd. Nada, zilch.
You can get Satellite, but that's about it. And Sat is Iffy here on this side.
Thanks.
We have filed a formal complaint against Telus for a number of reasons. They also took away the local phone line access for Dial-Up a few months ago. So, Uniserve had to find a long distance number for us bumpkins to use. If you think Dial-Up slow, try connecting a LD number
Thursday, January 29, 2015 at 10:43AM We are in need of a chimney inspection and are wondering if anyone else is in need of a chimney sweep. it would reduce the cost and his efficiency if we booked a few visits on the same day. let me know if you are interested.
