New Fire Fighter Recruit Night: Sept. 27th

The Thetis Island Volunteer Fire Department is accepting new volunteers to join our team on SEPTEMBER 27TH. This advance notice is to give those interested but unsure the opportunity to speak with any of our active fire fighters about what we are all about and what you can expect when joining the fire department. You don’t have to be an athlete…just a regularly fit person, and 19 to beyond retired. We train once a week on Wednesday evenings from 7 pm to 9 pm and a few weekend days throughout the year. The community funds your training and equipment. Several of our fire fighters train to become medical First Responders as well as fire training. Our priority in all we do is safety and teamwork. Please consider joining our team…we come from many different backgrounds and are committed to community service. We are here to help our neighbours when they need us, and so can you.

Bake Sale Aug. 5th

The date is fast approaching. Please bring your baking or other offerings for the sale to Forbes Hall on Friday morning between 10 and 12, or first thing Saturday morning if you can’t do it on Friday. We need lots of delicious things to raise funds. And I made a mistake in the last announcement. The funds go to the library to buy books and supplies.

This is always a fun event. 

Thank you in advance for your contributions.

Telus Fibre Optic Right of Way

We were approached recently as resident property owners by Telus to sign off on a statutory right of way so that Telus can piggy-back on the hydro posts which are located outside the road allowance on our property. 

Are you another property owner who is in the same situation and have questions or are thinking like us that they need more clarity about this proposal and its possible implications? 

If so, please get in touch 250-246-9965 or suzanne.sarioglu@gmail.com
