Forbes Hall Library

Each week there are scheduled times when a volunteer library attendant is on duty. 

We look forward to having you join us, we’re there to answer questions, talk about ideas, and generally there to help you out, if needed.  On Sundays we offer tea and goodies – a happy place to meet for a chat with fellow island bibliophiles.

Hours:

Saturday 10:00 am until 1:00 pm

Sunday 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm

Monday 10:00 am until 1:00 pm

The library is always open after 10:00 am when there is a Community Activity at the hall and the entry door is open.  We have a simple honour system for signing out books and DVDs, instructions are at the sign out desk.  If you need help, ask the attendant on duty.  For returns, when the building is closed, please use the drop box by the Courtside Entrance.

We hope you enjoy our lovely little island library.

Celine,

your volunteer librarian

Vandalism to Tires

Beware!!!! Horrible news.  Our vehicle tires have been slashed while parked on Thetis Island at the ferry terminal.

We are horrified that this sort of person exists on Thetis Island.

Clarification re: CVRD Telecommunications Antenna Structure Policy

Good afternoon, Thetis Island residents,

This message is in regards to the email we sent yesterday afternoon regarding the CVRD Telecommunications Antenna Structure Policy that will be going before the CVRD’s Committee of the Whole.

It has been brought to our attention that this policy is not relevant to Thetis Island, since land use on the island is under the jurisdiction of Islands Trust. When a cell tower is proposed for Thetis Island, it is Islands Trust who receives and considers the request, and not the CVRD. Furthermore, Islands Trust already has an antenna systems strategy in place, which you will find here: https://islandstrust.bc.ca/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/model-strategy-for-antenna-systems.pdf

We apologize for the misunderstanding. Please contact us with any questions you may have.

Kind regards,
Economic Development Cowichan
