Reminder: Thetis Infrastructure Task Group - Public Meeting at Forbes Hall: 7 Pm Tuesday, July 2nd

The Thetis Infrastructure Task Group is made up of TIRRA (Thetis Island Residents and Ratepayers Association – Solid Waste Yard), TIPC (Thetis Island Port Commission – Community Dock & Boat Launch), TIID (Thetis Island Improvement District – TIVFD/Firehall) and TICA (Thetis Island Community Association – Forbes Hall Community Centre).

For the past 6 months our group has been working with the CVRD on their funding, planning, and assistive work for Thetis Island. Each year Thetis Island pays about 1/3 of Area G’s taxes, yet we only make up 1/4 of the population. Most funding goes to services Thetis Island residents rarely access.

We would like to hear from the community. Property Tax Day is July 2nd and we thought it appropriate to hold the meeting on this date.

There will be brief introduction statements by each of the four groups, and a 10-minute financial presentation by Paul Duncan before we open the floor to you. All concerns, questions and ideas will be recorded for use in our future meetings with the CVRD.

See Background Taxation Report here: https://static1.1.sqspcdn.com/static/f/1330286/28655882/1719841736077/Background-Phase_1_Report_June_30_2024.pdf?token=N40eQpC%2BoarwqOwGLu%2BGGh2ah4E%3D

Looking forward to seeing you!

The People’s Apothecary Garden - Plant of the Week #14 - Mullein

Is that giant lamb’s ear?! No! It’s ‘great mullein’ (Verbascum thapsus)! Like lamb’s ear, mullein can get quite fuzzy, but unlike lamb’s ear, it doesn’t hug the earth. Great mullein can grow quite large and in charge - stretching upwards of 10 feet tall! It’s a biennial plant, and in its second year of growth it produces a tall stock and showers petite yellow flowers down upon its large leaves. These flowers can be eaten, but more excitingly, mullein is a well-known expectorant, meaning it can help the body ‘expel’ excess mucus while also producing soothing anti-inflammatory properties.

Ride Needed from Nanaimo, Tuesday 2 July

We're heading home from YVR on the afternoon of 2 July and Seair is booked. We're looking at the Hullo ferry or Seair to Nanaimo as alternatives.

If anyone will be in Nanaimo that day and willing to give two weary travelers a ride back to Chemainus/Thetis, we'd love to hear from you.

Thanks in advance from Ann & Gary!
