Is anyone going to Chemainus, available to pick up a prescription at Rexall on Willow for me.

It's already paid for.

Thank you,

Meeting of the Thetis Island Marine Association (TIMA), Tuesday, February 6

TIMA is a volunteer advisory board, advocating for safe and equitable mooring buoy management on Thetis Island.

We have been working on mooring buoy registration and mapping moorings.
Moorings are required to have proper markings [name and Phone#] to be compliant with Transport Canada regulations -several moorings do not comply and some appear to be abandoned.

We anticipate more activity in Telegraph Harbour. We are meeting to discuss strategies to keep Telegraph Harbour safe and accessible for anchorage and navigation.

The Public is Welcome.
FORBES HALL
TUESDAY FEB 6, 5:00-6:00 pm

Please Don't Shoot at Our Sheep!

Thursday late morning, we had a report of a person (wearing a red jacket), south of us, shooting an air gun at our sheep!  

While the sheep were missed (we hope), the bullets did hit our barn close to where people were standing and close to our propane-fuelled generator! 

Luckily our grandchildren were not playing at the farm at the time.

Unfortunately, this is not the first time. We have also noted shooting at geese as they fly over and at a Peregrine falcon that loves our long driveway for his dinner table.

We are all blessed by the creatures that inhabit our Island including ourselves.

Please stop shooting at our sheep and farm and at the wonderful creatures that enjoy it, including our family!

Available Storage Container on Island?

I am needing to move some furniture out of house due to reno (doing all floors in whole house). I have a garage, but I am now thinking we may need more room.

The quote to bring over a storage container from off island is pretty high. Does anyone have another suggestion? I was kind of wondering if anyone had a moveable container on island. The main cost was for the moving of the container. (close to $1000 each way with fuel charge and GST); the rental was cheap. $150 for 4 weeks.

Thanks for any ideas,

Request for Help with Moving Batteries, & Seeking Storage Space

Hello, 

I have some batteries over at my friend's house on Pilkey Point to the pub so I can put them back onto my boat. 

I also might need help at the end of February to move my stuff off my friend's property into a storage unit that I’m currently working on getting lined up. But if someone has space for storage on Thetis, I would be willing to pay for storage to make it easier to access my stuff. 

Please send email to jasmineeveanderson@gmail.com or text/call 250-619-1310

Thank you in advance, 

Jasmine
