PFD Loaner Station at Community Dock

There is a new PFD Loaner Station for children’s life jackets now available at the stairs leading to the beach at the Community Dock.  Parents can borrow them while their kids are playing along the shore or in the shallow warm water.  Just return them for the next users.

Thanks go to TIVFD member Norm Kasting for framing and installing the sign. 

Thanks also to RCMSAR29 and sponsors, including Telegraph Harbour Marina, for making this safety initiative possible.  

The TIVFD fully supports the Kids Don’t Float safety program.

A Friend of the Library is available Saturday 10-1, Sunday 1-4 Celine will be there if you want to check out the online catalogue. The library will be a cool space to relax in this hot weather.
Enjoy

The Book and Bake sale is quickly approaching. I will update you on the time to drop book donations, set out books etc. I hope it is not too hot for our generous bakers to do their thing.

August 3 Parade

We hope you are getting your parade float planned or are checking out the spot you want to plant your lawn chair for the August 3rd Thetis Island Parade.
We may not be the biggest parade…heck, we may even be the smallest parade, but Islanders are creative and like to have fun.

The Fabulous Forbes Hall Library Book & Bake Sale is being held that morning at the Community Centre and they are selling lunches there too. So you can put your float in the line up on Mission Road early, buy some books and cookies, eat a great lunch, and be ready for the parade kick-off. We hope to start down Mission Road at about 1:30, head down North Cove Road to Pilkey Point Road and then down the hill to Marina Drive, loop around Telegraph Harbour Marina and back up the hill. The viewing crowds get to cheer twice! Special appearance for the kids…Sparky, the Fire Prevention Dog.

There will be a poster contest for any child aged up to 11 years old to ride at the front of the parade in the Fire Engine. Details in a later e-Spokes.

Water for Birds

Today I found a little bird sitting on our wooden bench dazed and suffering from dehydration.

The bird let me hold it while I gave it drops of water until such time it was fully hydrated and could fly off.

During this heat wave please leave water out for the birds and fill it often as needed. Also, if you put a bowl of water out, place a rock in the middle of it for the birds to stand on otherwise they could drown.

The birds thank you!
