Thetis Eco Share Shop

Dear Thetis Island Community,

We are so happy and grateful for the community support we have received for the "share shop".

The little shop has been filled with many useable household items, and the turnover has been tremendous since we started around January of this year.

We are also grateful for the financial donations we have received in the donation box. It warms our heart when a child takes a toy or puzzle and leaves a dime or a nickel.

A small reminder that we do not accept any broken or dirty items. Also, no clothing fabrics or books, except for how-to manuals. Clothing and books do not do well in an unheated building. We are also asking that you do not drop off out-of-season items, for instance Christmas items in May.

A big thank you also to Thetis Island Marina and cafe for allowing us to use their premises.

We thank all islanders and visitors who have helped make this successful.

Gratefully,

Tess and Richard DeMarco

Geese Families on Pilkey Pt Rd.

Three different sets of cobra chicken (Canada Geese) families are out and about on Pilkey Point Road from the Harbour to Sunrise Point Road, taking their cute fluffy goslings on walkabout. 

Please drive carefully; they do not know the rules.

Community

I’ve been thinking about something.

Many of us chose to live here because of the people. The sense of community. The friendly faces. The helpers, caregivers, artists, tradespeople, companions, volunteers, and service providers who make this place feel like paradise.

But there’s a growing challenge.

The people who support this community are increasingly unable to afford living in it.

As our population ages, the need for trustworthy, caring, community-minded people will only increase. Yet many of those willing to step into those roles are being priced out before they ever have a chance to contribute.

This isn’t a complaint. It’s a question.

What would it look like if this community became known not only for its beauty and success, but also for its ability to attract and support the next generation of helpers, caregivers, creators, and community builders?

Could there be innovative housing solutions?

Mentorship opportunities?

Community-supported living arrangements?

Partnerships between homeowners, local businesses, and people who genuinely want to serve?

I am new and I don’t know?…maybe there are already solutions.?

But if not, I suspect there are people in this community with the vision, resources, and creativity to see possibilities where others see obstacles.

What ideas do you have?

Because if we can solve this challenge, everyone benefits.
