Looking for the Game "Operation"

Over the summer, Athenia and I are working hard at learning to regulate our bodies and emotions when under stress. Does anyone have the  game "Operation", that they would like to part with...Also any other child geared board games that can be stressful to play and require oneself to regulate. 
Hopefully this activity will help me🙂.....and her, have a calm and enjoyable summer. 

Thank you

TIRRA (Thetis Island Residents' and Ratepayers' Association) Notice to Property Owners and TIRRA members of Important General Meeting Forbes Hall: Saturday, July 23rd, 3PM

In addition to normal updates provided at TIRRA General Membership Meetings, there is a call to all voters (TIRRA members and property owners) to attend. 

At the April TIRRA AGM, there was a member approved motion for TIRRA executive to pursue the reopening of the recycle portion of yard services.  An information sheet** has been prepared, providing updates on suppliers, taxation, products accepted/not accepted and options: most significantly the incremental costs required to facilitate removal of recyclables from our island. 

TIRRA Solid Waste Committee does not intend to come to the GM with a prepared motion: we wish the community to provide direction via discussion and attendance.

We expect a motion will be received from the floor which will have an impact on residential property owners (taxpayers) and/or those who utilize the recycle service. Therefore we strongly encourage your attendance.

There is a separate document which provides a cost analysis** (breakdown of cost and historical/projected parcel tax implications).

Please review the information and attend the GM.

If you have questions or suggestions, please share via email by July 17th to tirra@thetisisland.net.
We will try to consolidate the information and post for all to consider, by July 20th.

TIRRA Executive
 **Documents have been submitted for posting on thetisisland.net under Waste Management (bottom right of Community tab)

CBC News Feature about Residential School on Penelakut

CBC News has a feature today about the residential school on Penelakut Island, where more than 160 unmarked graves were found last year.

The feature focuses on a Halalt youth, Richard Thomas, who died there in 1966.  He was 16.  The article recounts these events and some of the dishonorable history of residential schools, and is very much worth reading:
