Leave your Christmas Tree (no tinsel etc.) at the Garbage Site and the TIVFD will collect it and chip it and return it to the soil. 

You have until January 10th to drop it off...we chip that afternoon.

Theft of Firewood from Thetis Island Marina

On Sunday night sometime someone stole about a cord of firewood from the woodshed in the Thetis Island Marina parking lot.

We are saddened that we have now taken increased security measures and locked our woodshed. 

We would appreciate if those responsible would return the wood, as it our only heat source for the Pub and we need that cord of seasoned firewood to get through this winter.

Thank you.
