Complimentary Travel Departing Chemainus Saturday, December 9, 2023

The BC Ferries’ Route 20 vessel has been recently renamed the Pune’luxutth in the spirit of reconciliation.

In recognition of the name change, BC Ferries will be offering complimentary travel and cookies at the Chemainus ticket booth throughout the day on Saturday, December 9, 2023, when the vessel returns to service early afternoon.

Pune’luxutth is the Hul’qumi’num’ word for Penelakut and was the name chosen by Penelakut Tribe. The vessel has been serving the Chemainus-Thetis-Penelakut route since 2007 and over the past few months has been in its five-year dry-docking and refit. This is where it also went through the process of a name change.

No change in schedule is expected for the day. The Pune’luxutth will follow its original schedule beginning Sunday, December 10, 2023.

Saturday Xmas Market

Season’s Greetings to all my fellow Thetis Islanders.

I realize that during this busy holiday season, all of you will have many more things to think about other than donating your USED POSTAGE STAMPS to the BC Cancer Society.

HOWEVER there is always a need for support for this worthy cause.

This coming Saturday (Dec. 9th) I, along with Diane, Gloria and Anne-Marie will be having a Xmas market at 161 Pilkey Point Rd. starting at 10:00 am where we will be selling our Thetis Island homemade items from Kuddle Kitties to Cookies!!! A terrific selection of unique gifts for yourself, family or friends.
Great way to spend a rainy Saturday!!!

See you there and please remember the BC Cancer Society.
