Internet Woes?

Hey there fellow islanders... I'm curious about your internet service, and if anyone has updates on the good work that was being done in the past to improve service to our community!

For us, our internet service has gone from poor to worse over the last few months, and TELUS seems generally unconcerned and not very helpful.
I would love to hear from anyone that might have updates, or if there is interest and energy to put together a campaign, or reboot a working group to get some more action. I'm interested in being involved.

Let's help each other to make this better!

Covid Clinic on Thetis

Many islanders are getting their notifications that they are now eligible for their booster shots and are asking about it.  

This is just a reminder that the TICA Health Care Committee will be meeting on Thursday with representatives from VIHA to discuss the possibility and timing of a Covid vaccine clinic here on Thetis.  

They expect to be able to report on the results of the meeting on Friday.  We will put out an update as soon as we know whether and when you can have it done here.
