Ice Cream Donations

Big thanks to everyone who bought ice cream from the little red Micra ice cream truck. Smitty and I had lots of fun and we raised $240 for TICA.

Bicycle Needed

We are looking for an adult bicycle suitable for a person that is over six feet tall.
Our grandson is visiting for the summer and would like a bicycle to get to and from Overbury to Telegraph Marina where he is working.
We would prefer to rent the bike but will also consider buying the right one.

Cool Girls Nature Club

Good morning, brave ladies.
It's me again.

I've only got a couple more weekends before I'll be off swimming on other shores besides Thetis Island. So if you've been wanting to do this, now is your opportunity.
The water is really warming up, but it's still just cool enough to give you that oh-so-good feeling.
This week, we'll meet

Saturday at 9:00 a.m.
at the end of Porlier Road, just off Pilkey Point Road.

Fun fact: Laughter, friendship, and regular social connection are some of the strongest predictors of health and longevity for women. Apparently gathering by the ocean checks a lot of boxes.

This is a relaxed, low-pressure women's gathering — come sip your tea, breathe the ocean air, dip, swim, paddle, float, or simply be.

Wetsuit, bathing suit, or birthday suit, all welcome.
Come exactly as you are.

A little ocean time, a little connection, a little courage — that's all this is.

Hope to see you there — even if it's just toes in the water.
Warmly,
Elite 250-533-9347

75 Days Until…

Hello Community,
Here is your second early warning to plan for your entry into the THETIS ISLAND COMMUNITY PARADE on August 29th. We may not be big, but we can definitely be flashy. (All bicycle and motorized scooter entries must wear a helmet.)

The Fire Department will be holding a draw of artwork in early August for a Chief for a Day child to ride at the front of the parade in the brand new Engine1.

It’s the usual (short) parade route from Mission Road, down the big hill, around Marina Drive, back up the big hill and back to Mission Road. We will muster just after 10:30 and start at 11 a.m. If you have a car etc., please ensure you have fuel in it…don’t laugh, that’s happened before.

The COMMUNITY PARADE was started by Gwen Hunter and has carried on every few years in her memory, organized by the fire department. It’s also a lot of fun to watch, so get your deck chairs ready. 75 days left until AUGUST 29, SATURDAY.
