Breaking News (again) about the COVID Vaccination Clinic:

Jeannine's VIHA contact called her this morning to say that:

1) At least one of the glitches in the system has been found.  Our clinic is listed as "Thetis Community Centre" rather than "Thetis Island", which may be why many of the call operators insisted that the clinic does not exist.  If that was the issue that prevented you from booking, please try again using Thetis Community Centre as the reference,
and

2) The word from Bonnie Henry to Island Health is now that there is only a five month waiting period required between your shots, so if you received your previous shot on or before August 11, you are eligible for this clinic.  This may take a day or two to be incorporated into the system, but do try yet again and let us know if you can't do it.

We are trying...

The library is open Saturday from 10:00 until 1:00.  Masks are required.  The friend on duty has not yet had a booster so would prefer that patrons be vaccinated.

Capernwray Harbour Closed to Guests

Dear Friends & Neighbours,

As you know, new public health orders and guidelines have been put in place due to recent developments in the pandemic.  At this time, out of an abundance of caution and care for the safety of our community, our students and our staff, we unfortunately need to close our property once again to drop-in visitors and short term guests, including Thetis-Islanders.  We will miss your presence here and look forward to when we can invite you for a visit once again!  We will keep you up to date and thank you for your understanding.

Wanted: Android Phone

Hello, I’d like to post this on behalf of a friend:

"Does anybody have an old android phone they would be willing to part with? 

Lost my phone to the ocean and I live on a boat and need it for communication. If you can help that would be amazing."

Please contact

Please Don't Put it Off

We heard this morning that there are still a lot of spaces left for the COVID clinic on January 11th.  We know there are people who have been trying to book and been thwarted by the system glitches, or who have been told to wait, or that there isn't a clinic here or whatever. 

Please keep trying, and tell us if you can't get in.  We want everyone who lives here, stays here regularly, visits frequently and/or interacts with the community, to have the chance to get their first, second, or booster shots on the 11th.  Please don't put off trying - we need to keep at this!  And big thanks to those who have kept us informed of their progress or lack of it - it's been very helpful in getting a response from the VIHA system management.

Primary Caregiver Survey

The Cowichan Primary Care Network is launching a survey to better understand whether the healthcare needs and preferences of the people who live in the Cowichan Valley are being supported.

Your feedback will help us understand what's missing and how we might make it better. All your answers on the survey will remain confidential and anonymous.

We will be doing a draw for a gift basket in December and another one in early 2022.

If you have any questions about the survey, please do not hesitate to contact Deborah Rutman or Carol Hubberstey at: notabenegroup@shaw.ca.

Dog Drops Pickup

If anyone is going to town tomorrow and can stop by Salish Sea Grocery, would you be willing to pick up a small packet of dog ear drops from vet Dr. Randle for me? 

I can meet you at any ferry you are returning on, or you could put them in the drop box if you are going for your mail. 

Sager the Labrador thanks you, as do I.
