Gather at Forbes Hall for a very Thetis Island lunch...

Potato Leek (Veg)

Naan Bread / Baguette

Assorted Fruit Loaves

Cookies

Suggested donation of $7 for soup, bread, treats and teas & coffee.

Soup’s On is entirely carried out by volunteers and, as one of the tasks is the program’s accounting, please do not pay with coins smaller than loonies and toonies. All change must be counted and rolled, and it’s work that we would like to do less of J

For those who find large groups challenging, enjoy your lunch in our designated quiet room, the Library.

Everyone is welcome to join us, seniors, seniors who don’t think they’re seniors, workers, families, and everyone who just wants a mid-day meal!

Tree Removal

I have a dangerous tall maple tree that will require a tree cutter with a “bucket” truck.

Can anyone on Thetis Island recommend a nearby business that could remove my tree?

And is there anyone who would also need such a service and would like to share the cost in the week after Thanksgiving, assuming, of course, that I can find someone that quickly?

Please e-mail me @ czech-us-out@telus.net or phone 604-980-2291

(Sorry! This would be long-distance from Thetis!)

Topical Prescription Dewormer for Cats

I have 4 expensive, prescription, Profender topical cat dewormer doses for a large sized cat (purple 5.1-8.0KG), that just expired in August. 

Dosage is once every 30 days for intestinal parasite infections. 

Free to anyone (cat :) who could use them.

Time to Trim

The weather looks to be about to dry up again, so this is a great time to inspect your driveway and trim your branches overhead and on the road sides to the specifications laid out in the Thetis Island Improvement District Service Capacity Policies regulations.

Driveway widths must be maintained to a minimum 12 feet (3.66 meters) and the height be maintained to a minimum of 15 feet (4.6 meters), cleared of any obstacles for Emergency vehicles.

If you have a driveway gate it must open inwards and either remain unlocked or keys permanently placed with the fire department. (If you use a combination lock you must provide the fire department with the combination.)

Cover your trimmed branches from the October rains or chip them. 

No Yard Waste burning until November 1st. Fire Permits are not required after November 1st. 

You need to check the Ministry of Environment’s Venting Index for a GOOD day to burn after November 1st. Thetis Island falls within the South Vancouver Island’s HIGH Smoke Sensitivity Zone.
