Attention all Caterers and Chefs

We, at Telegraph Harbour Marina, are compiling a list of Caterers and Chefs interested in working with us to offer our guests, both from away and local islanders, quality food services for our events, big and small. 

We would prefer to prioritize our own Thetis Island talent before using outlying companies. If you would like to be involved in expanding our services, we want to hear from you. 

Contact Alisha Rennie at coordinator@telegraphharbour.ca for more details.

Tent Caterpillars

We noticed more than a dozen of tent caterpillars on our plum and apple trees. So, I would suggest that those who have similar trees be aware of them.

Thanks
Gurk

At this time of year overwintered caterpillars hatch and begin to form web nests. Large infestations are unsightly (ugh) and can quickly defoliate a tree. The tree will likely survive but fruiting will be diminished. Many insect infestations are cyclic, and some years are worse. The nests are best addressed early or late in the day when the worms are less active. Scrape or cut them out and submerge in a bucket of dish soap and water. You can also spray the beasties with vegetable oil. They breathe through their skin, so this suffocates them. Torching is a fire hazard, folks. Pesticides, even botanicals should be a last resort, as our pollinators are at risk. Plenty of information on the net.

Reminder to Vote for Thetis Island Improvement District Candidate Michelle Sutter

Thetis Island Improvement District is the governing body for the Thetis island Fire Department and the organisation which is authorized to levy taxes for the support of the Fire Department and First Responders.

The Thetis Island Community is dear to me and like many of my neighbours I care deeply about its immediate and long term health.

While adding my own ideas for sustained funding and support to the Improvement District I will always welcome input and ideas from others who share the same vision.

I will not be swayed by lobbying from special interest groups who would lead policy change with self-interest.

Entrusted with the sustained safety, enhancement and support of our First responders, Firefighters and Auxiliaries I will always work to pursue the best interests for ALL Thetis Islanders.

If you have not already done so, please vote between 10 and 11 am prior to the AGM on Saturday May 4th.

Help...Electric Fence needed...

We are trying to discourage a River Otter from moving under our shop...ammonia, bleach, moth balls, live trap, have all failed.

Does anybody have an electric fence arrangement we could buy/rent/borrow...do not want to injure but discourage him/her.
