Dog Crate

Hi there, fellow Islanders... 

Athenia got a puppy...I'm looking to borrow or buy a metal or plastic medium crate for a couple months, until she outgrows it. Any old dog toys would be greatly appreciated as well. I've made it my mission to purchase as little as possible new, giving everyone an opportunity to downsize when I post looking for items.  

Thank you 

Elite, Athenia and Sparkles

Thank You from the TICA Board

Thank you to those who generously supported TICA's request for year end donations as well as those who supported TICA's fundraising initiatives all through 2022. We also recognize with gratitude that many of you have generously supported the Forbes Hall Expansion project, perhaps numerous times, since the expansion planning began in 2016. 

The TICA Board is humbled by the generosity and knows that each gift was given with a sense of pride in, and commitment to, the Thetis island Community.

Long Term Housing Wanted

Hello lovely community!

I had a couple of potential opportunities lined up for long term housing, but seems circumstances are just not aligning. So I am back on the hunt!

Looking for a 2-3 bedroom, self contained, that allows one well behaved dog. I am a quiet, respectful and employed single mama of two beautiful kiddos (aged 4/7). My son is enrolled at the Thetis School and we would love to stay here.

We are happy to help maintain the property, gardens etc and would love to talk to you if you may have something available. Ideally, we would find something for March 1st. Perhaps you know a neighbor that is a part timer, or someone who's house has remained empty? We really love this community and would love to continue to call it our home - budget is flexible and we are open to unique/unconventional arrangements.

I am a non smoker, Yoga Instructor and Editor, and own a Publishing Company. I would love and care for your space as if it were my own!

Please reach out to harbourcitycontent@gmail.com if you know of something. I'd be so eternally grateful.

Thank you! - Jess Hartwell

Virtual Care Access Now Available for Thetis Islanders at Forbes Hall

Virtual care makes it possible for patients to have greater access to care and to receive that care closer to home, reducing the burdens of monetary expense, travel time and the stress related to these factors. Technology applications such as Zoom, FaceTime, and the BC Virtual Visit solution supported by Island Health, are commonly used platforms that enable secure consultations between health care providers and their patients. Delivery of clinical care and distance education for patients and providers via virtual care has seen a rapid increase in recent years and supports both primary care and specialty services including mental health, oncology, and geriatric medicine, to name just a few. 

The Thetis Island Community Association has created a private space within the Forbes Hall Community Centre where residents of Thetis Island can connect to their virtual care appointments. This space will be of particular benefit for individuals with poor internet connectivity, or those for whom technology at home is a challenge. The Health Care space is private and is equipped with a computer for those without access to their own device. When Virtual Care is an option, consider the convenience of staying on Thetis versus traveling to your Medical Practitioner or Specialist.

Members of TICA’s Forbes Hall Health Services Group have collaborated with Island Health in reviewing the recommended virtual care room guidelines for privacy, security, and patient safety as part of the development of this new Health Care space. A Volunteer Attendant will assist clients with accessing the room and its equipment.

The room is available for Virtual visits on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, based on availability.

• Book for consults using the online (Google) Booking Form: https://forms.gle/Cx719NLYy2PBa2zx9 

• Refer to the online Forbes Hall Care Station (Google):  https://calendar.google.com/calendar/embed?src=c_3m4ehbt7f2bnkkk552jq2mpjik%40group.calendar.google.com&ctz=America%2FVancouver 

• Client Access Information (Google): https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PYvcNVHSd6faa3tGLEK7N08Mycwan4Oz6yGq6lTNom0/edit?usp=sharing

• No clinical support is available at this location, unless arranged in advance by/with the client. 

TICA’s Forbes Hall Health Services Group is eager to increase access to care via the use of virtual care services. We invite healthcare providers to consider the use of virtual care when connecting to patients in our community, and we encourage residents to consider using the space for consultations. 

All links can be accessed at the top right of the thetisposts.ca webpage.

If you would like more information regarding access to the space, you may contact members of the Forbes Hall Health Services Group, or email health@forbeshall.ca .

Sincerely,

Ann Dickie
