Can I Borrow your Christmas Tree?

Once again Athenia and I are turning to the magic of espokes.... I have failed  to procure a real Christmas tree on the other side, (another thing in short supply because of recent weather.) It goes against our way of living to purchase a new artificial tree. Do you have one we could borrow? We only need it until Jan 1st, then you could put it back in your storage space:)...I'm hopeful for a nice one but I might have to lower my expectations. Athenia would be happy to gift you a nicely framed drawing of your tree with the new frames we acquired from our lovely fellow islanders...

Thetis COVID Vaccination Clinic Update

Thank you to those who have let us know they will be attending the clinic on January 11th here on Thetis.  It is definitely happening – we have been given the times (10am-12 noon and 1pm-3:30pm), and the nurses and an administrator have been assigned. 

However, it is still not possible to book a slot online or by phone, as the Thetis clinic hasn't made it as far as being added to the ImmunizeBC booking system. We're letting you know, in case you have tried and been frustrated, that this delay is unfortunately normal.  We will let you know as soon as we hear we have been "plugged in" to the booking system.  

Or, if anyone randomly tries and can get through, please let us know so we can spread the word!

Looking for Housing

Hello! We are hoping to relocate to Thetis and are looking to buy either an empty lot or a place with a small house/cabin already built on it. I’m a former Capernwray staff member and my husband works for BC Ferries. We’d love to be back on Thetis, if anyone has anything coming up for sale in the new year please let us know!

Firewood to Fairy Creek

I am planning another delivery of dry firewood to the Fairy Creek old growth logging protest camp.

Any contributions of dry firewood, whether an armload, a wheelbarrow  load or a truck load will be greatly appreciated by the eco-warriors who are protecting our old growth forests. I can pick up contributions any time until Wed afternoon.

Additionally there is room in the cab of the truck for smaller items which they need to help them thru the cold, wet times ahead. Please visit the Fairy Creek website for a list of current needs.

I hope to catch the 0900 ferry on Friday Am. for last minute contributions.

PS: cash contributions should be made thru their website
