Post Office Boxes Update

We are in the works but the more pressure we can apply as a community the quicker we can make this happen. The individual I am working with asks that anyone who wants a post office box to call this number: 1-800-267-1177 

You will be asking to get a post office box, but they are all full. When can Thetis Island expect more boxes? 

As many of you that want a box as possible can phone in and get on record the easier it will be for my Canada Post contact to put our case forward.

Thanks for the cooperation,

Fred

Post Office General Information

Hours of operation:

10:00 to 17:00 (5:00PM). The opening time same as the store.

Lunch:

12:00 to 12:30. No service available at this time. 

End of Day

From 16:45 (4:45 PM) to 17:00 we do the end of day. Counting cash and shutting down the computer and getting the daily printouts. This all takes time. During this time, we can give out parcels (we can scan the tags the next day) but we will not be able to send parcels or perform any cash transactions because the computer is shutting down.

Any questions just ask, 

Fred and Lis

In Appreciation of the Soup's On Committee

A great big THANK YOU to the Forbes Hall Soup’s On crew for their gustatory delights every Wednesday for the past six months. Not only were we able to sample such a wonderful variety of soups and home-made breads, but the dessert goodies alone were 5 star. This weekly event throughout the winter and early spring allowed for great community connections and camaraderie. Speaking personally, I was delighted to meet several new-to-our-island residents as well as be available for face-to-face quick informal meetings for fire department issues. I am also sure many others took advantage of the convivial lunch atmosphere and found advice, concern, and assistance and new friendships through the connections made over a steaming bowl of soup and a hot cup of coffee. The weekly volunteers who make this event such a huge success are wonderful and I hope that others will join their merry band in the Fall to continue this valuable work.
