This film focuses on sustainable farming and how to promote sustainability for future generations. Come on down to learn more about food waste, sustainable farming and have some interesting environmental chats!

Volunteers Needed: COVID Clinic – Forbes Hall

TIVFD will no longer be managing immunization clinics on Thetis Island, and they have passed the torch to the Forbes Hall Health Services Group. 

Community volunteers are needed to make the upcoming clinic feasible, and we encourage you to participate in making this important service available to our community. 

We need people to sign in, direct, and inform clients, and to set up and take down the clinic.   

To volunteer, please contact health@forbeshall.ca or contact any of the following: Shirley Burr, Jeannine Caldbeck, Ann Dickie, David Reay, or Michelle Sutter. 

Thanks in advance for your help – because we literally cannot do it without you!

Family Fun Day ~ Thank You

A big thank you to all you islanders and visitors who attended the Family Fun Day last weekend to support the Thetis Island Community Fund!

Having not hosted this event in four years, we weren’t sure what to expect. We were thrilled with the turnout of roughly 120 people!  

Our sincere thanks to all the volunteers who helped make the event so successful!  

Judging by the smiles, laughter and cheers, the races, games and water closet were all a bit hit!  A more in-depth recap of the Family Fun Day will be coming out in the next edition of the Quarterly. We welcome your feedback from the event to help us improve your experience and we look forward to hosting Family Fun Day again next year!
