Fire Hazard Change

Friday we will have accumulated enough moisture and the humidity will have risen enough to drop the Wildfire Danger Class to HIGH Hazard. This means that High Hazard Activities (chainsawing, milling, chipping etc.) will be allowed from dawn to 1 pm and then a two-hour fire watch posted.

Please be careful and call 911 to report any smoke columns. All outside solid fuel fires are still banned. 

Thank you for your cooperation.

Looking for Thetis Island Photos!

Forbes Hall Community Centre – Fall Fundraiser

A calendar showing islanders' favourites spots and views of Thetis is being created, and your photos are wanted!

Do you have a special photo that says “Thetis” to you? A view you wake up to, a hidden gem you walk to, or a place where you sit and contemplate life, or a view that stopped you in your tracks? A series of 12 photos will be made into a calendar for a Fall Fundraiser for Forbes Hall.

A range of photos will be chosen, to show Thetis off in all her seasons. Please send in a photo you’d like to share with others and help to raise funds for Forbes Hall. The calendar will make a great gift for family and friends.

Please provide the month, year and location the photo was taken, as well as your name as photographer.
Do not submit photos of identifiable people. By sending in a photo you permit TICA to edit as needed and use the image for the calendar with net proceeds going to TICA / Forbes Hall Community Centre.
Send photos to info@forbeshall.ca if you’d like to help us out with this project. All submissions received by September 30th will be considered.

Well done Thetis Island! The Kelowna SPCA staff were speechless. Since I have heard from people who couldn't make it to the Saturday Market last week, I will be at the market this Saturday to collect more donations. 

Besides the bandanas, coats and signs I will be trading cucumbers and or flowers for your donations.

If you have already donated, thank you.
See you Saturday September 2nd. 10-2

Well-Cistern Services

We are planning a trip to Thetis for Wednesday September 13, we would like to let other community members know should they require any services while we are on the Island. We know arranging service on the smaller Islands can often take some time, William has us booked for a couple hours and we will have time for 2 - 3 more service appointments.
We do well, pump, cistern, filtration, service and maintenance - water testing and more.

Please let me know if I can provide a bit more information, if anyone is interested they can call me or email.
Thank you,
