Congratulations to Bruce More

Congratulations and best wishes to Bruce More, long-time Thetis neighbor & friend. Bruce and his wife Connie first came to Thetis in the early 1970s, and built "Morehaven" soon after.
Bruce is featured in Saturday's CBC BC story ("Book box boomtown: Greater Victoria celebrates more than 1,000 little free libraries") for having personally built more than 100 "little libraries" for the greater Victoria area:

Jollity Weekly Order Reminder

It's True Grain Organic Bakery pick up this week.

Please place bakery and dairy orders by Monday evening.

Order here or send us an email: https://www.jollityfarm.ca/order-form

A couple of people have requested a sack of corn so they can fill their
freezer for winter. It's not a huge savings but still a few bucks off.
Let us know and we'll pick up a few extras the next two weeks.

We'll update our order form with this week's veggies tomorrow. This will
probably be the last week of organic strawberries.

With thanks,

Jollity Farmers

Reminder for Today: 2026 Thetis Island Calendar Submissions Deadline September 20th

Thetis Island Calendar will be produced once again!

For the 2026 edition, we’re looking for photos of native and naturalized flora and fauna, both aquatic and terrestrial, plus iconic geology. However, as in the past, we welcome all photos of Thetis. 

Cut off for submissions is September 20, 2025. Today.

Only photos 1.4 mb and larger will be considered, and submissions are limited to 8 photos per photographer.

The top 14 images will be chosen for the calendar, with another 20 being chosen for the gallery at the hall (these may be used for notecards). All selected images will be used with photographer’s credit included.

Upon submission of your photograph, you are allowing TICA to use it for the mentioned purposes, and for editing to be done correcting for use and printing.

The photographers of the chosen 34 photographs will be contacted that their photo has been chosen for either the calendar or the gallery.

Photos do not need to be taken in 2025.

Please submit photos to info@forbeshall.ca by September 20, 2025, today.

Thank you in advance for supporting this fundraiser with your photographs!
