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.

We ask that attendees park on Clam Bay Road and walk in via our driveway. We will have an allocated spot so folks can drive in and load purchases then depart. 

Many items including tables and chairs, a large corner desk, sofa bed, chest of drawers, linens and duvets. And many other smaller items. Also lots of free stuff!!

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. 🙂
