You must have an adequate water supply at site as well as fire suppression tools (shovel, rake) when operating the machinery. Friday to 1 pm and Saturday to 1 pm only during this period.

Parking – Family Fun Day

Just a heads up, the hall parking lot will be closed for vehicles during the FFD. Please park along Mission Rd, the school parking lot or wherever you can find a spot. This will allow guests to roam the hall grounds freely and safely.

Anyone who may struggle with mobility troubles, please feel free to contact me. We’ll be happy to escort your vehicle as close to the action as possible.

A friendly reminder…races and games are not just for kids. Parents, grandparents and great grandparents will be welcome and encouraged to join in.

Looking forward to seeing many island neighbours this Saturday!

TIVFD at Family Fun Day

The TIVFD Water Supply and Structural Protection Unit Teams will be on hand at Family Fun Day with a “drop tank” of sanitized rainwater for the kids to play in and wildfire sprinkler units to demonstrate. We want to assure you that apart from the low flow sprinklers, all water will be recycled back into our fire water suppression tanks. Nothing will be wasted. Due to the drought conditions, the fire department has even received notice from the province to not wash our fire trucks. So please pardon our dust.
