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

Fire Weather Forecast

Several people have asked about timing for getting out of EXTREME fire hazard.  The short-term forecast is not looking good for rain but there is more hope towards the end of next week.  

OUTLOOK: An upper low and associated trough will cross the South Coast on Wednesday producing cloudy skies, a noticeable drop in temperatures and scattered rain showers. The highest chances of showers are along the west side of the Island and over the North Island zone. Probabilities and rainfall amounts decrease eastwards with the southern portion of the Island and mainland likely to only see trace amounts if at all. The lower temperatures and increased RH will help to slow fire behavior. A ridge builds back Thursday and Friday marking a return to warm, dry conditions. A brief period of northwesterly winds Thursday afternoon will likely yield the best venting window of the week. Fog will be likely Thursday morning.

6 TO 10 DAY: The next ridge of high pressure looks to persist into early next week and possibly longer resulting in steady or climbing fire weather indices. A cooler and showery pattern appears towards the end of next week however any signal for a season-ending rainfall remains elusive.
