Thetis Island Community Association: Forbes Hall Solar Project Fundraising Initiative

Through many generous donations and pledges from the Thetis Island community, we have met (and exceeded!) TICA’s $25,000 threshold to go ahead with the Solar Panel Installation on Forbes Hall, by Ocean Volt, in September 2025. 

The excellent response in donations and pledges has funded most of the remaining cost of the project, for which we are very grateful!

 $63,211 (installation quote)

- 25,000 (BC Hydro Rebate)

- 36,600 (donations and pledges to July 31, 2025)

 $ 1,611 (remaining to be raised)

The community initiative to make Thetis Island's Forbes Hall Community Centre greener and more affordable has now been realized through the drive and financial support of community members.

With sincerest thanks,

TICA Board

Hello Dolly! Looking for a Laser Dolly

Something that’s still glowin’ and crowin’ to pull our little dinghy down to the waters’ edge.
If you happen to have something, that would be so swell.

Cheers,
