Recent Rain Events and the Use of Low-Impact-Design Techniques

In light of the recent deluge, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I might be able to assist you with stormwater (SW) management LID (low-impact design) techniques.

Often, understanding water flow through the land with the big picture in mind and engaging the notion of slow and store SW - these less intrusive techniques will set you up for long-term success.

Family Fun Day - Thanks

Thank you to all of you who came out to support and enjoy the TICF’s Family Fun Day on Saturday. We were blessed to have perfect weather, and all attending seemed to have a great time! Special thanks to members of the Fire Department, SPU and Auxiliary teams for providing the much-loved drop tank swimming pool. Also, many thanks to Joe and Westley Knowles for taking the lead in the kitchen this year. The new menu was a great hit! Our event wouldn’t have the same upbeat feel without our DJ Robin who once again travelled from Victoria to help us out for the day.

Last but far from least, a huge thank you to the 43 volunteers who were instrumental in making this year's FFD a great success! Each year our goal is to bring community together to have fun and enjoy a meal. Thanks to the 117 meal tickets that were purchased, water closet sales and additional generous donations given, we met our goal and surpassed it by raising $1,028 from the event! All proceeds the TICF made will go toward assisting islanders with education and health needs.

Please check out the upcoming Quarterly for pictures from the event. We look forward to seeing many islanders at next year’s Family Fun Day!

Rain Damaged Driveways

Hi Thetis.  

In the wake of the heavy sprinkle we received the other day some driveways took a bit of a beating, especially on the east side of the island. I will be working on a number of roads affected by the storm in the next couple of days. If your driveway needs a tune up. Shoot me a text.

Got Extra Fruit?

Someone posted a few weeks ago offering fruit but there was no name or contact info.
If anyone has fruit trees in need of picking, or have too much to handle, I’d love to lend a hand. Any kinds of fruit, old trees, mystery apples, crab apples etc.
If I can make something good out of it I’ll share it back :)

Thanks!
