Update on Neighbourhood Watch Alert The RCMP have arrested the individual roaming Thetis Island. He is in custody facing sentencing, which will include not visiting Thetis Island as a parole condition. Fire Chief J. Caldbeck Thetis Island Vol. Fire Dept

Urgent Notice! Neighbourhood Watch Alert

A male person with no vehicle has been breaking into outbuildings and also a vehicle at night to sleep and has also stolen supplies such as tarps, a Trapper Nelson backpack, rain gear, axes and a large knife. He is known to police and the RCMP came over Saturday night with a police dog but were unable to locate him.

Because of the cold and stormy weather tonight, he may be holing up in an unsecured outbuilding. Please check your property and call 911 to report to the RCMP if you see anything suspicious. The first report to the RCMP was last Tuesday, and he is believed to still be here trespassing on Thetis Island.

Upholstery Work

Is there anyone on the island with experience re-upholstering furniture? 

We have a sort of built in couch that the fake leather is letting go on.
I'd like to re-cover it and make it usable for years to come.

Bea Miche is Turning 99 Years Young

Hi Thetis Island residents.  

Bea Michie of Dragon Rock on Pilkey Point Road is turning 99 years young this Friday the 12th of January.

Bea initially bought her property in the 70's and it's been in her family ever since.

It was suggested that it would be a nice idea for those that wanted to wish her a Happy Birthday could perhaps leave a note or a card for her at the Post Office to brighten her day.  I'm sure it would be appreciated.  Let’s honor the love and wisdom of our elders.

Thanks, in advance...
