Looking for Rental Accommodation

My tenancy ends May or June this year. I would like to keep staying on Thetis Island . The accommodation would be for myself and part time for my children so I would like at least 2 bedrooms but 3 would be preferable. I can be reached at the Post Office between 9 and 5 Monday to Friday at 250 246-3464 or come see me in person. My cell number is 250 246-7917 but Cell service is spotty so leave a message.

Jollity - Weekly Order Reminders + Price Changes

As you may have noticed on your grocery bills or heard about on the radio, some food costs are on the rise.
Much of this is due to drought, heat domes, flooding or covid-related supply issues and this is really affecting grain costs.

Our dairy and bakery suppliers have all raised prices across the board by $1, so we will also have to adjust our pricing. If you manage your own regular monthly subscription payments, we'll send you an email to share the new costs, otherwise you will see the price changes reflected on your invoices or receipts. Thank you for continuing to choose local and supporting Thetis & Vancouver island growers, makers and food providers!

For Friday home delivery or Saturday farm pick up:

 - Local Milk & Yogurt order changes or add-ons due by Monday evening
 - True Grain bakery orders due by Monday evening
 - Free Range Eggs
 - Home Grocery delivery from Superstore, Community Farm Shop or 49th - confirm your order by Thursday afternoon

*Pastries are back Saturday, Feb. 5. (prices have not changed on these :) Pre-order Pain au chocolate and Croissants.
*Dumplings available this week! Shrimp & Chive or Vegan.

With thanks, Jollity Farmers

Lawrence Valley Loop

This trail is now open. 

The potentially dangerous tree has been dealt with and the boardwalk, which floated out of position by floodwaters, will be re-positioned at a future date. 

Thanks go to Chris Call for taking care of the trees.

The Tour de Thetis will be held February 12, 9.30 a.m., starting and finishing at the community hall.

This free event for cyclists of all fitness and skill levels was postponed at Christmas because of poor weather.

This new date happens during Winter Go By Bike Week. Its aim is to spread the joy of using bikes for everyday transportation. Some 56,000 BC riders took part the last time out.

We will enter ‘Thetis Cycling Team’ results (distance accumulated by all riders) for a chance at ‘winning great prizes’.

Telephone Polling in Trust Area - not by Islands Trust

Hello:

It has come to our attention that island residents are receiving phone calls from a polling firm that asks questions about Islands Trust and the Policy Statement. We wish to advise you that this is not on behalf of the Islands Trust.

We are currently engaging on the 2022/23 proposed budget with an online survey (follow the link for details on tonight’s budget webinar). We will be beginning engagement on the Policy Statement Amendment Project (Islands 2050) in February.

Thank you,
Islands Trust
