From Harvest House

It’s no small thing; the generosity of our community. Thank you for your donation and contribution this year. We know it’s been a difficult time for many and we know that it has been a bit more challenging for many of our regular supporters to give; and we are humbled by the continued and generous support; thank you.

When we care for each other and our neighbours it creates small miracles. And those small miracles create ripples of hope.

Thank you for your gift.

Robbie Burns Night January 25, 2025

Yes, it is 7 sleeps to Christmas, but it's also 38 sleeps to Robbie Burns 2025. Last year our event was a great success with wonderful traditional dishes, world class bag pipe music, and award-winning highland dancing. Thetis Islanders treated us with poems, tributes and songs following the traditional Burns Night format.

This year’s looks to again be a great night. Sandy Adams from the world champion SFU Pipe Band will be returning as will Kathy White and her highland dancers. The cash bar will again feature plenty of choices of Scottish Whiskey and beer (along with wine and non-alcoholic drinks).

Tickets for the event will be $55 for the dinner ($35 for children). Please contact me (phone, email, ferry lineup) to request tickets. This event sold out last year, don't wait to the last minute.

Looking forward to seeing you there!
