Post Office / Amazon Pick-Ups

Our Post Depot will be open on Tuesday 24th from 12-5pm to pick up parcels.

Due to the unforeseen, and untimely departure of “Thetis Island Marina” employee Kevin, whom we wish the best for in his future endeavors, and the unfortunate windstorm power outage where we were unable to serve you. 

We ask of your patience during this transition period.

We will be hiring and training customer service representatives over the next few weeks so that you will receive all your post in a timely manner. 

Thank you in advance from the staff at Thetis Island Marina and Resorts!

Cycling for Cookies

All cyclists are invited to join our twice-monthly free Tour de Thetis tomorrow (Saturday, May 21) before 9.30 a.m. Our free-spirit riders -- of all ages and fitness levels on e-bikes or not! -- don't always start together or follow the same route. 

But the privileged ones with insider knowledge get back to the Community Centre before 11 a.m. for Fred's scrumptious cookies.

Postmaster Leaving

Hello Thetis Islanders!

I regret to tell you I have left the Post Office. It is too stressful to work while looking for a home.

I have enjoyed serving the community for the last eleven and a half years as postmaster.

I’m very sorry to leave like this.

2022 Visitors' Guide?

Last year's Visitors' Guide can be viewed at

https://www.thetisisland.net/ftp/Thetis_Island_VG_2021_final.pdf

If you would like to be included in this year's version, please let me know.  We will be losing some listings this year, so I hope we can gain some new ones.  The cost has traditionally been $5 per line of text. 

We'll try to keep it to that again.

If you would like to be the one to produce the Guide, or have any ideas about it, please please let me know!

Thursday School Walk

This Thursday, May 19th, the students from TIES will be walking down to the cut to count sea stars! 

Just thought we'd put out a warning that we'll be walking on the road just before noon, and again around 2:00 pm.  

Please slow down for us! Thanks. 🙂
