Forbes Hall Work Party - Thank You

A big thank you to all the folks who turned out to get Forbes Hall cleaned, tidied, and organized for the busy season we have coming up.  It was great to see the comradery and the “we can do this” attitude that was so apparent! It was a joy for the organizers to see so many gathered for a yummy lunch in the lovely fall sunshine.

Thanks to all those who took time to share their skills and time with the community.

Soup’s On Starts Wednesday, October 5th at Forbes Hall

11:30 am until 1:00 pm (earlier if we run out)

We look forward to welcoming everyone back to gathering at Forbes Hall to enjoy a bowl of soup!
First lunch of the season: 

• Mushroom Barley Soup
• Cheese Scones
• Home-made Treats
• Teas and Coffee

Soup’s On started in September 2008 with the suggested donation of $5 per person, in 2022 we have been forced to face reality and, after much thought, have increased lunch to a suggested donation of $7 per person. 

Everyone is welcome to join us, seniors, seniors who don’t think they’re seniors, workers, families, and everyone who just wants a mid-day meal!

See you on Wednesdays!
The Soup’s On Team

We Did It!

We are grateful to all the wonderful people who came out to help us reach the final stretch (literally!).

It was an incredible feat of ingenuity and cooperation to move this awkward 3000 lb piece of rubber into a giant pond.

Little by little we folded and stretched, folded and stretched until we were able to move this massive burrito 90 degrees (with the help of a crane).  Then came the work to unfold and stretch, unfold and stretch up each slippery slope! Every person contributed so many great ideas, and pushed and pulled with all their strength and good spirit!

Check out our instagram page for a few shots and videos of the progress

Thank you Thetis Islanders for really helping to make this a community farm!
