Trail Update

The Lawrence Trail (Community Trail) is fine from the Mission Road end but from the Kenwood end it’s passable if you’re wearing boots. Please use the temporary detour to avoid the flooded portion.

The Lawrence Valley Loop is closed from the fire hall through the meadow bottom to where the Jollity Trail joins it but the rest is open. Thank you to Ian Ralston for cutting a passageway through a downed tree.

The Jollity Trail is in good shape and through it, you can access the rest of the Loop Trail.

Thank You

A BIG THANK YOU to Everyone who came to our medical rescue last week. Capernwray came instantly to my call for assistance as did the Thetis Island Paramedics and Fire Department. 

Chief Caldbeck leads an incredible team and Chris Fordham is to be commended for his special group of staff and volunteers.

Thetis Island is a remarkable community where neighbors care about each other. We feel very blessed to live here. Dave is resting comfortably at home now.

Found: Dog Leash

A dog leash was accidentally placed in my car at the community center and I am looking to return it to its owner. 

It is harness that is green with a plant design on it and has a black leash attached to it. 

If this is yours, please reach out to me by phone to have it returned. My number is (604) 725-9345.

Thank You

We would like to send along a huge thank you to Thetis Island Volunteer Fire Department for being there for us on Saturday night. These volunteers take time from their day to day lives to attend emergencies no matter the time of day or night. They get out of warm beds, leave their dinner on the table or their workplace. We are so fortunate to have such an amazing team.

Also thank you to Dr. Sutter and Bill Golley for being there when we needed them. Both are treasures to this island. And to Helen and Steve Bird who took our dogs and cared for them while mommy and daddy were away. Thank you.
