Attn: Parents and Grandparents!

This weekend is the kid's stuff exchange on Thetis! TICA has graciously lent us the pavilion for the weekend so drop off your used things that you no longer need or that your kids/grandkids have outgrown and choose something new! Sports goods, books, games, puzzles, toys, baby things, anything that is no longer right for your family but could be great for another.

Drop off starting Friday evening. Anything left on Sunday afternoon will be loaded up for the thrift stores. Please, please, please don't drop anything that you wouldn't bring to a thrift store yourself - if it's destined for the dump, please take it there.

Feel free to text me if you have questions! 250-686-0266

What's fresh @ Jollity Farm?

Open Saturday 10am to 1pm

Lots of additional fresh goodies added to our list this week so you can plan your meals ahead!

Did you know that we work with about 5-7 local farms and two growers cooperatives each week? Farmers work so hard all year long and suddenly when faced with a great abundance they sometimes run out of time or avenues to sell their product. What a tragedy! It is especially challenging when local products have to compete against cheap imports at the grocery store. It's good for the environment, good for local economy and we get to nourish ourselves with the most nutritious food, when we source fresh and local instead of food that has traveled so far.

From our friend Pamela at Silver Rill Berries:
Cherries
Black currants
Red currants
(we are bringing a small amt. of currants this week. If you'd like to order more for jam or jelly making please let us know)

From her son Andrew: (his crops are about to bolt with the heat so he has a lot to pick!)
Cauliflower & Broccoli
(do you need extra for pickling or lacto-ferments?)

Plus:
Flower bouquets (you can order ahead as a gift for yourself or someone else :)
mixed greens
carrots
beets
peas
beans
green onion
dill
zucchini
cucumbers
peppers
fresh garlic
melons
strawberries
blueberries
raspberries
tomatoes
...and more!

Thanks for supporting local agriculture!

Danger Class Moving to EXTREME on July 18th

The Fire Danger Class Rating is forecasted to move to EXTREME Danger on Thursday, July 18th, by the three reporting fire weather stations we use as data points for Thetis Island.

This means that all High Hazard Activities in or near the forested areas of Thetis will be prohibited after 1 pm on July 20th. Early shift (work to 1pm and then a 2-hour fire watch posted) can continue on July 18, 19 and 20th and then must cease.

Do not hesitate to report any daytime columns of smoke to 911. The Province-wide shutdown of all outdoor fires, including campfires, continues. You can use approved propane stove or campfire appliances during the complete ban, but no solid fuel fires are allowed.

Thank you for being vigilant and safe as we move into the hot and dry wildfire months.
