A Distant Memory

For the last two years we have all been miserable over the number and voracity of the mosquitoes.

The unpleasant experience of feeling stalked and attacked by mosquitos, versus being only bothered briefly by their presence. A shout out is due, or overdue, to all those who worked on the slough: to fix the drainage and reduce the habitat of the salt water mosquitos.
And to all the property owners who took action....emptying water containing vessels and eliminating the breeding grounds in late spring.

Aren't we having a great mosquito free summer?
Thank you all!

Going to/past Langley?

If you are going to or past Langley in the Fraser Valley after August 10 (or know someone who is) and are willing to pick up a parcel for the TIVFD, please let me know. 

We have an SCBA cylinder and backpack, and if we can save on the shipping, we would really appreciate the assistance. The package is not heavy and about a yard/metre long.

Please contact me at firechief@thetisislandfire.ca if you can help.

Thank you.
Fire Chief J. Caldbeck, Thetis Island Vol. Fire Dept.

Goosey Gander Shop

Happy BC Day Everyone!

The Goosey Gander Shop will be open both Saturday and Sunday from 10am to 4 pm both days, so if you get busy with the Book & Bake Sale remember the Shop is open on Sundays too.

It is always a delight to see what comes into the Shop. This week was especially fun because not only did batches of amazing jewelry arrive ranging from fine and delicate to clunky and funky, but a mint condition Rawlings baseball glove came in, along with a magic fishing pole used by the ‘Codfather’ Dale Burkholder.

We also received many intricate assembled three-dimensional puzzles that are clocks and music boxes with moveable parts, and some very beautiful Thetis Island handcrafted seashell art pieces. Lots of other cool items are in the shop too from large to small, like a brand-new badminton set, some Christmas goodies, an ice cream maker, a purple pillowcase, and there’s even a little puppy in a basket!

Have a wonderful long weekend and come by and have a look if you can. 

Thank you,
