Tour de Thetis

A sunny day is predicted for tomorrow's Tour de Thetis.

Whether you ride a traditional or e-bike, you join highly informal Team Thetis by just showing up.

We will submit our accumulated 'mileage' to BC's Winter GoByBike Week (Feb. 7 to 13) for possible 'great prizes'.

The free 30 km ride (not a race) starts at 9.30 a.m. at the community hall and, in this order, visits to the ends of North Cove Rd., Forbes Dr., Bella Vista Rd. (via Foster Pt. Rd.), Sunrise Point and Pilkey Point roads, before returning to the hall.

There's no minimum speed or distance required. For example, riders may skip Sunrise and Pilkey Points because of steep grades.

Wear your helmet. Riders are responsible for their own safety and nourishment.

For more, call Fred Clark 246-9175 or Dave Steen 246-3530

Rain/Flood Erosion Prevention Workshop

A TIRRA community project (in collaboration with ThINC & landowner partners) is planned for the Lawrence Trail on Feb 18, at 9:00 a.m. This Low Impact Design (LID) workshop/work party (as used in the upland rain-garden remediation at the Cemetery) is required in order to prevent further erosion by mitigating overland flooding caused by extreme rain events. This is an opportunity for Islanders to learn about mitigation techniques and how they may apply these methods to their own properties.

This workday will be under the direction of Doug Fenton, an environmental mitigation specialist.

Further info forthcoming.
