Free - Fabric Scraps

Leftover bits from making children’s clothing. European made cotton (95%) spandex (5%) which meets OEKO-TEX Standard 100 criteria certifying safe from harmful chemicals. Stuffing for pet beds? Foot stools? There will even be scraps big enough for small projects. Uses only limited by your imagination! I’d just rather not put it in the garbage!

EXTREME DANGER CLASS Reminders

We are all hoping this EXTREME DANGER Rating ends soon and High Hazard Activities can resume, at least for early shift work. However, the EXTREME DANGER Rating remains in effect on Thetis Island at this time.

We appreciate your patience and politeness when dealing with our volunteers who are tasked with the investigation of complaints of High Hazard Activities taking place during this EXTREME DANGER Rating period. Neither the TIVFD nor the Improvement District set the regulations that govern BC Fire Departments during Wildfire season. If you are unhappy with the restrictions, please contact your MLA Doug Routley Douglas.Routely.MLA@leg.bc.ca and he will take your concerns to the BCWS to consider making amendments to the Wildfire Service BC Regulations.

Solid fuel outdoor fires remain prohibited. Propane campfire appliances are allowed.

Aside from the two current Out of Control wildfires on Southern Vancouver Island at Old Man Lake and Sooke Potholes that have BCWS crews on scene, there have been daily bush fires here in our region that our Cowichan Valley fire departments have been responding to…all human-caused, and those fires are not reflected in the news media.

Thank you for your continuing vigilance and safety during this wildfire season. The TIVFD would also welcome new volunteers to the fire department to assist us with our community responses all year. Please contact the Fire Chief or Deputy Chief Chad Kerr for more information.
