Lifetime Achievement Award Ceremony for FC Jeannine Caldbeck: Noon, Saturday October 2nd, 2021

We look forward to welcoming the community to congratulate Fire Chief Jeannine Caldbeck for her Lifetime Achievement Award. We are expecting a number of Jeannine's family and fire service personnel from around BC to be in attendance.

The COVID capacity of Forbes Hall is 105, not including wait staff.

If more than 105 people attend, we will use the outdoor patios to comply with Covid regulations.

We plan to start at noon, with a brief welcoming address followed by the award presentation and some speeches. There will be an opportunity for guests to publicly offer their congratulations to Jeannine.

Sandwiches, cake and light refreshments will be served following the program.

PHO Compliance

Proof of Vaccination is mandatory, and will be checked at the point of entry (to the left of the main entry). Please bring picture ID to facilitate a quick entry into the hall. 

Masks must be worn, unless sitting in a designated place while eating. 

We ask everyone to be respectful of the protocols in place, and to physically distance whenever possible. Outdoor areas will be available to help us accommodate all that want to attend.  

Thank you in advance for helping us to make this a very special occasion.

Urgent Reminder Regarding Smoke Control Regulations

We will be opening up backyard burning with permits on Friday for the month of October and for the months following to April 1st, 2022, no permits are required.  This is not true for the rest of the communities in the Cowichan Valley Regional District, including Area G (Thetis Island is located in Area G).  All CVRD areas are restricted to only two open burning periods during the year…March 15 to April 15, and October 15 to November 15.  During those two periods the open burns must meet ALL provincial smoke control regulations. 

We have argued successfully in the past that Thetis Island be treated differently due to our restricted access to CVRD waste sites for disposal of coarse woody debris and our location.  We urge you to follow the Provincial Smoke Control Act regulations when deciding to have an open burn this fall, winter, and spring.  Failure to comply, such as burning on days prohibited by the Venting Index, burning continuing after the allowed time of day, unattended burning etc. could result in Thetis Island losing the special considerations afforded our island by the Regional District.  We would then be forced to comply to the schedule set out by the CVRD for the rest of the region.  Please follow the venting index rules and open burning regulations.  Non-compliance could affect everyone else’s ability to burn yard waste during the months ahead. 

Thank you,

Running Club is Starting Next Week!

Leanne Jeffrey is once again leading a Running Club for students from Capernwray Harbour.  It will happen on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at 6:00am.  Our first run will be Tuesday (Oct. 5). 

North Cove Road will be our usual route.

If anyone is interested in further details regarding our running programme, please contact Leanne at 250-533-9329 or ljeffrey@capernwray.ca.  Islanders are welcome to join.  We move gradually from walking to running - the Hatley Castle 8K in February will be our goal.

The runners will aim to run on the left side of the road, even around the tight corners. Please keep an eye out for our reflective clothing on your morning rush to the ferry. When we see your lights, we will move on to the shoulder.

Thank you for sharing the road with us!
