Looking for Kefir Grains

I was wondering if anyone on Thetis has some extra milk kefir grains they would be willing to part with?

I'm wanting to start making kefir for myself.

If you have extra, please call Rachel (250) 463-3919 

Looking for Short Shaft Outboard

Looking to purchase a 9.9-15 horsepower short shaft (15”) outboard. Hoping to find a four-stroke made in the last 20 years that is ready to use.

Let me know if you have something you’d like to part with.

Return of the Chef

Hello everybody. I hope every single one of you have been doing well. I know I have been busy since I left, ended up cooking fresh caught Arctic Char at an outpost lodge at Tree River, NU by the Arctic Ocean, even got brave enough to do the Arctic dip or stupid enough, you choose. Some of you may remember me for cooking your 2020 Valentine’s Day dinner with the funky aphrodisiacs here on the Island just before the pandemic. Well, I came back because I was absolutely heartbroken that I had to leave the first time I came out here. I love this Island and the people on it.

I made some good friends here and hope to make many more. It's so nice to see so many familiar faces, so please stop by and say "hi". I'd love to continue the relationships I was developing with the local farmers; I remember I used to help feed some of the livestock.

New Menu & Weekly Specials
I am rolling out the new menu this week with some more Seafood dishes like Tuna Poke Bowls which can be turned into a Vegan option, Bacon & Leek Beer Mussels with Garlic Bread, Baked Salmon Mac & Cheese, Steak Sandwich & Prawns, Scallop Fettuccine Alfredo, Coconut Breaded Prawns, and Seafood Chowder. I also added some new sandwiches like The Buffalo Chicken Burger, and the funky Nacho-Cheese Burger with Doritos that I know darn well the kids will go crazy for.

Our feature nights will be Burger & Beer Thursday, Fish n' Chips Friday, Ribs Saturday, and Quarter Chicken Dinner Sunday.

Moving forward we will have a Wings Wednesday when we start opening up on more days. This Sunday I will have Turkey Dinner with Mashed, Steamed Vegetables, and Stuffing. I also started making fresh soups and sandwiches for our lunch specials, so c'mon down to the Marina, it's time to 'break an egg' ha ha. Much love...

Mushroom Help Needed

We're looking for someone with knowledge of growing mushrooms using mycellium syringes. Trying to figure out which locations might work best or might not work at all.

Have a few other basic questions that could use some advice on, TIA.

Your Address

Please check your address sign at the head of your driveway. Did it survive the winter’s snow ploughing, windstorms, etc.? Is your Lot Number clearly visible from both directions from the road? Are the numbers a minimum of 6 inches (150 mm) in height and easily read? Emergency vehicle drivers need to be able to find your address quickly.

If you wish to purchase a standard Lot Number sign (many Lots on the island exhibit these white signs with reflective blue numbers) contact the Fire Chief at firechief@thetisislandfire.ca for information on how to purchase one.

Reminder: Soup's On Cancelled for Wednesday, March 27th

Our sincerest apologies, due to medical reasons, Soup’s On is cancelled for Wednesday, March 27th.

The final two Soup’s On days for Spring 2024 are April 3rd and April 10th.

It is unusual that we could not find a replacement as we have a truly dedicated group of cooks, and we thank them for their tremendous dedication to this program.

Thanks to all the wonderful islanders for their incredible continuing support for so many years, and we’ll see you in April!

WETT Inspection

Hello,

Wondering if anyone on the island is able to conduct wett inspections for wood stoves.
Also if anyone has any information or insight into who to contact for this service that would be fantastic.

Best regards
