TICA: Looking to Add Two New Directors at its AGM on April 26th

While TICA must continue to fulfil its mandate to oversee and manage Forbes Hall, the board would now like to re-evaluate its operations through an environmental lens. To this end, TICA will be adding a board position with a dedicated Environmental portfolio. The new board member will be someone with a strong interest (and perhaps experience) in exploring and promoting environmental issues and solutions and will work with other board members and volunteers to develop operational plans and projects for the future.

The Board has noticed the growing number of babies, toddlers, children and youth living, playing and learning on Thetis Island. There is room for programs and activities at Forbes Hall that are specifically designed for, and directed to, these children and youth. In acknowledgment of this, TICA will be adding a board position with a Child & Youth Initiatives portfolio. This director will liaise with parents and youth to accommodate new initiatives and events, bringing the ideas to the Board for discussion and implementation.

If you are interested in either of these two positions, please contact a Board member:

Bring Your Wood Waste For Chipping

On Monday, April14th Thetis Island Nature Conservancy will be chipping the waste material gathered in Fairy Slipper's parking lot. 

If you have wood that needs to be chipped you are welcome to join. This provides a great opportunity for households who have a small pile of wood that doesn't make a Chippy visit viable. 

Chipping will start at 1 pm, and people are asked to bring their wood waste to the parking lot between 10am and noon on Monday (absolutely no drop offs before this time)

We are basing the cost on volume - $80 for a long box pickup load (approximately half an hour of chipping using ThINC volunteers). 

For smaller quantities the cost will be adjusted accordingly.

The goal is to reduce the fuel in our woods in a way that does not put the deadly toxins that come from wood burning into the atmosphere. A win win.

If you have any questions, please contact:

David Reay, Ann Eriksson or Jim Moloney
