Knitters & Weavers & Fibre Artists

After having had a successful art/craft weaving business for many years it's now time to say goodbye to my remaining stock of yarns. All of it!

Come on out Wednesday April 13 at 11:00 am to Forbes Hall for a chance to buy some unbelievably fabulous yarns at incredibly low, amazingly low prices. Fantastic selection too! Unbelievable selection in fact. 

See you there!

Firewood Needed

We will be needing a couple of cords of firewood for next winter. In view of the recent windstorm, it seems like a good idea to put it out there now, in case there are those who anticipate having some to sell. 

If you have any or expect to have any in the next few months, please let us know. 

We'd like to buy it!

Pete Rees - Celebration of Life

Pete and Audree Rees have lived on Thetis Island for well over a half a century and we were saddened to be called out to Pete’s residence on Clam Bay Road on March 23rd where he passed away. 

He was in his 98th year and was still very active.  Pete started the Thetis Island Fire Department with Harry Armstrong 40 years ago and was our first Fire Chief.  Before permanently moving to Thetis he spent almost three decades in the Vancouver Fire Department, retiring as a Fire Captain.

On May 14th, at Forbes Hall, we will celebrate Pete’s life and honour his memory with a Fire Service memorial and a community gathering with his family, friends and neighbours. 

All are welcome.

ThINC - Launching the Nature Stewards Program - Check your mailbox!

Hello Thetis Islanders,

In honour of Earth Month, we are launching our Nature Stewards Program! Over the last several months we have been working with members of the Penelakut First Nation, Elder Augie Silvester and Ken Thomas, and local Island Trustee, Doug Fenton to develop materials to encourage residents to play an active role in conserving, stewarding, and enhancing wildlife habitat on their property. Although many islanders already do this, the program would like to recognize their efforts while helping everyone do a bit more for our island’s sensitive ecology and boost biodiversity!
 

Check your mailbox for our introductory Nature Stewards pamphlet. Also online at thetisislandnatureconservancy.org. If you don't t have a mailbox and would like a printed copy, please get in touch with us at: info@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org

Happy Earth Month,
The ThINC Team
