TIRRA is hosting an all candidates meeting for the upcoming Islands Trust Local Trustee election. 

A call for questions from the public is requested.  We ask that you send questions to editor@thetisblog.net by Thursday 6PM for compilation.  This list of questions is so the candidates will have time for research to make their answers and the discussion more meaningful. 

As well, there will be the opportunity for questions from the floor.

Election day is Nov 15th with reduced polling station hours of 9:30AM to 5:30PM.  Advance polls open in Duncan on Nov 5th and 12th 8AM to 8PM, check the Cowichan Valley Regional District website here.  Remember to get out and vote!

Update ~ Gwen Hunter

Dear Friends of Thetis Island and Everywhere,
Thank you for your prayers and good wishers. They have meant a lot to my wife. She loves you all dearly. If things keep going as they are, I may bring her home as early as next week. If that happens I'm asking that you will give us a couple of weeks to be alone to get things together and be by ourselves. Then please phone to see if visiting is okay cause we have never been down this row to hoe before. Trust me it is a tough one!

God bless you all
Don Hunter
