Wood Chips Needed for the People’s Apothecary Garden

Hello everyone,

We’ve just added a new path at the PAG and are looking for wood chip donations to fill it. The path is approximately 12 feet long, 3 feet wide, and 1 foot deep.

If anyone has a pile of wood chips to spare, please contact Charlotte atcharlotte@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org

Thank you so much for your help and support,
Charlotte

Recycling and Garbage Notice

A gentle reminder to the community not to bring your garbage and recycling to the marina for disposal. 

We are seeing an increase in mixed recycling being left in our refundable bins, which are only for the use of marina customers. When this happens, a staff member has to go through the bins and pull out everything that isn't refundable and clean and of course we have to pay to have garbage hauled off the island. 

At this time, your non-refundable recycling must be taken to Peerless or Bing's Creek for recycling. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Art Show: Merry Gooding

Thetis Islander Merry Gooding and her friend America Leal are currently showing their art at the restaurant Just Jake's in Duncan. 

They have 45 colourful, mostly abstract paintings up, large and small. So, if you are in Duncan and need a break, consider popping in for lunch or coffee or just to take a look. 

Their show is on until November 22nd. Prices range from $15 to $100. If, by chance, something seizes your fancy just pay at the restaurant, lift the painting down and take it home with you.

Menu:
Cabbage Roll Soup

Vegetarian Cabbage Roll Soup

Crusty Dinner Buns

Suggested donation of $7 for soup, bread, treats and teas & coffee.

Soup’s On is entirely carried out by volunteers and, as one of the tasks is the program’s accounting, please do not pay with coins smaller than loonies and toonies. All change must be counted and rolled, and it’s work that we would like to do less of.

For those who find large groups challenging, enjoy your lunch in this week’s designated quiet room, the Library.

Everyone is welcome to join us, seniors, seniors who don’t think they’re seniors, workers, families, and everyone who just wants a mid-day meal!

Menu remainders for take-out when available. Soup’s On also supports the Thetis Island Food Pantry.
