Plant Cards Now at the PAG!

Hello, a reminder that tomorrow the People's Apothecary Garden will be open between 10-12 for drop-ins/harvest hours. 

We also now have a deck of 30 plant cards waiting to be perused during a leisurely walk through the garden. Each card provides a snapshot of the plant and what it can be used for. The deck and accompanying site maps will be placed in the box at the front of the garden (fixed to the fence) during open hours. 

Hope to see you there :)

TIRRA Community Day Quiz/Draw

The question was posed: "What was the weight of garbage shipped from Thetis Island in 2022?"The only hint was: CVRD goal>>Reduce garbage weight to 250KG/person/year by 2028, and to 150KG/person/year by 2040. 2022 garbage shipped by TIRRA in 2022 was 18,220KGs or 40,168LBs (We have insufficient info on population using the Solid Waste site, in order to compare to CVRD goals.....but we can always reduce through recycle, reuse, refuse, repurpose, reduce, etc.)

Contestants were given the option to answer in KGs or LBs. After conversion the results are in!!!

Closest answer: Keith Rush 15,000KGs or 33,069LBs : Winner of $20 towards garbage fees!

Thanks to all who participated in Community Day. And a big shout out to the Forbes Hall Food Services/Community Day Organizers and Participants!!

Mosquitos and Jellyfish - oh my!!!

We seem to be overwhelmed this year with mosquitos. I know about 7-8 years ago we’d had some meetings about mosquitos. I know we did something about a blocked culvert, went and checked all out our ponds/ tarps /gutters of water things breeding them. Should we try again this year? Should we have a meeting? 

My Second- oh my is there is a rash of jelly fish. At least in Preedy Harbour. Anyone knows which type they are and how stingy they might be. Very very early for them. Guess it’s global warming doing it. I know we have local experts to advise us? any advice. ? Are they everywhere? Or just on the west side ?

Boxes Galore!

Hello Islanders! 

Does anyone have any need for copious amounts of boxes? I just moved (again) and I'd love to offload these boxes to some deserving individual(s). Perhaps you're a box collector or you'd like to use them in your garden? Perhaps those old things you're tired of looking at need to get boxed up and stored away? I'm your gal! Can deliver anywhere on the island also - if preferred. 

All at the easy price of $0! Any takers? You get extra bonus points if you take them all but it isn't necessary!

Please email Jess at harbourcitycontent@gmail.com to arrange.

Shout Out to the TIVFD

Myself and Chris, Mark and Zola truly appreciate the effort to help Mark get through his Medical issue. Mark is a good friend and I was very impressed with how things were handled. From the time of the 911 call to Mark being underway in the emergency boat (plumbed and drummed with 2 EMT's) was 25 to 30 minutes. Want to try and do that in Vancouver?

We are very fortunate to have this well trained crew support us Thetis Islanders.

Thanks again to all involved,
Fred
