Thank You to Thetis Island Volunteer Fire Department

We would like to extend a sincere thank you to the many first responders who came to our aid when Margot had a fall at the cabin on August 16.   

We were very fortunate to have neighbours close by that called 911 and we quickly had first responders on scene.  It was determined that Margot likely had a broken hip.  All the arrangements were quickly made to coordinate the water taxi with an awaiting ambulance in Chemainus that took us to the hospital in Duncan.  

It gives us and our family great peace of mind knowing that this amazing service is available on Thetis Island. 

Thank you kindly to the many, many volunteers that work to keep this service running so well. Much appreciated.

Rock Tumbler Wanted

Well tis the season for me to find a creative gift that will keep my daughter Athenia occupied. Does anyone have a rock tumbler laying around they would like to sell. I prefer to purchase items, including  Christmas gifts second hand, when possible.  It doesn't need to be pretty, just in working order. 

It is always so fun to make these little posts. I never know who might messaged with just the thing that we are looking for.

As BC Ferries has been unsuccessful in securing the required number of crew to sail the Kuper, there is a potential risk of sailing cancellations for today, November 27. While our crewing teams are working hard to source replacements, the following sailings are at risk if they are unable to do so:

We require a specific number of staff members on board the vessel to ensure the safety of our passengers in the unlikely event of an emergency and to comply with Transport Canada regulations. Should any sailings be impacted, we will notify customers via Service Notice as soon as the information is confirmed.

The decision to cancel a sailing in these circumstances is made when we have exhausted all options to find replacement staff. If circumstances change and replacement staff become available, we would notify customers immediately.
