Cat hit by Car

I’m very sorry to say that I saw a small orange and white dead cat that appears to have bit hit by a car just past lot 109 on Pilkey Point Road heading toward the ferry. I was driving in the opposite direction and happen to see it. I tried looking through the listing of Thetis Island pets, but the pictures are slow to load, and I was unable to locate.

Feeling for whomevers cat this is; I would want to know if it were my kitty.

2025 Calendar

Here we are in the last lazy days of July and we’re thinking about the 2025 follow-up to this year’s beautiful Thetis Island Calendar.

Please browse through photos you’ve taken in the past; take some more through the summer! We will be doing a “Thetis through the Seasons” calendar for 2025 and are excited to see some beautiful images, once again.

You can start sending them as soon as you like, we’ll hold them in a file until early fall when we will sort through them finding the special 12+ to create 2025’s calendar.

Images to be 1 MB or larger, send to info@forbeshall.ca

We're looking forward to seeing what Islanders have been snapping!

The People’s Apothecary Garden - Plant of the Week #18 - Rosemary

A humble herb in which most people are familiar with for its culinary uses, but few know of its medicinal properties. Rosemary is a rich source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds and is used to boost the immune system, improve circulation, and aid in digestion - among other benefits! Fun fact - the first mention of rosemary is found on cuneiform stone tablets as early as 5000 BCE!

Parade Picture Contest

Kids, you have a terrific chance of having your poster win the contest…the fire department hasn’t received one entry yet.  That means if you get your drawing of you riding in a fire truck on an letter sized paper, and you write your name and your parents’ contact information on the back, and you get it into the poster box in front of the firehall before 6 p.m. Wednesday, you will have a much better chance of getting to ride in the Fire Engine at the front of the parade next Saturday.  You have to be 12 years old or younger to enter.  Younger than 6 years old?  No problem…a parent or older sibling can ride with you if you win.]

Contest ends Wednesday 6 pm.
