Dogs

Good morning!

Dear neighbors,

A German shepherd has been loose, when I first saw him, he seemed to be lost on Pilkey Point Road and now I have seen him nearby in the forest off the end of Klahowya Road.

Please be careful with your pets and do not let them go out unaccompanied and preferably on a leash.

The CVRD has rules for the care of dogs and the neighbors of dogs.
Problem dogs can be reported. Find a link to the bylaw on:
https://www.cvrd.ca/2751/Dogs

I appreciate your understanding,

Marcia Aftimus

Thanks for Joining us at Power’s Out Day at Forbes Hall!

More than 70 Thetis Islanders dropped by for a warm cup of something, a visit with friends (old and new!), to settle down with a book in our cozy library, or to do some group puzzling! The hall had a great vibe and reminded us of how fortunate we are to live in this community.

Thanks also, to the treat bakers, the volunteers, the dishwashers, and the gifter of flowers.

For those who asked for the soup recipe, see below.

Nice, too, that the power came back on earlier than scheduled!

ThINC - Nature Stewards Program Community Info Session - Saturday, March 23rd

Are you curious about the Native Habitat Stewards signs you've seen going up around the island? Are you interested in boosting biodiversity on your property? Come out to ThINC's Nature Stewards Info Session on Saturday, March 23rd from 1:30 to 3:30 at Forbes Hall to learn how you can restore, enhance, and/or protect the ecosystem on the property you call home. Participating in the Nature Stewards program is fun, easy, and free (donations always welcome). Two or three Nature Stewards Guides walk your property with you to learn about your nature-related goals and challenges. We follow up with a comprehensive site report packed with helpful resources. All properties are eligible for a site visit/report - regardless of size!

For questions about the Nature Stewards Program or the info session, please get in touch with Charlotte at charlotte@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org

“We should preserve every scrap of biodiversity as priceless while we learn to use it and come to understand what it means to humanity.” - E. O. Wilson (Biologist and Naturalist)

From the Library...

A Friend of the Library will open our lovely island library Saturday 10-1, Sunday 1-4 and Monday 10-1.

Enjoy the cozy space.

Calling all New Islanders...

I'm getting into the details of the next edition of the Thetis Island Phone Book now. Many people who have come to live here in the last two years have already sent me their contact information, either for the next phone book or just for the island database. If you have not done so yet, please do.

Listing in the phone book is entirely by choice, but if you choose not to be listed, it is still a good idea to be in the database. The Fire Department depends on having some way to contact people whose property or residence needs attention when they are not around. It is also helpful for the First Responders in the event of a 911 call-out.

This still holds even if you're living here but don't have a fixed address.

Please let me know,
