TIVFS Fundraiser

The Thetis Island Firefighters’ Society is offering six cleverly reworked fire extinguishers made into hanging doorbells/garden decorations.  They are complete with TIVFD or TIVFS logos.  These can be viewed through the window of the fire hall.

We propose to offer these items to the highest bidders who will also in addition receive tax receipts for their donations. 

The bells will go to the six highest bids received by the end of this month.   

TIVFS Board - info/bids.

ThINC - Introducing 'The Ripple': Our Inaugural Newsletter

Hello Thetis Islanders,

In celebration of ThINC’s 10-year anniversary we are beginning a new tradition: newsletters! Our newsletter, ‘The Ripple’, will serve to keep you up-to-date on what ThINC is up to and share ways in which Thetis Islanders can engage.

Why The Ripple you might ask? Well, let me tell you! A ripple is a natural phenomenon that can be observed throughout the natural world, from waves on sand dunes and wind rippling through the trees, to the most obvious, rings spreading on the surface of water. A ripple can also symbolize cause and effect; specifically, how our actions impact the environment. The ThINC ripple stands as a reminder of this, and how it is in our power to gently affect change.

Our inaugural issue, ‘10 Year Anniversary: How We’ve Grown’ (link below) shares the story of ThINC’s beginnings and growth in an article written by Ann Eriksson as well as a (rather condensed) timeline that highlights major events from the last decade.

Each issue of The Ripple will include a ‘Super Steward’ section that recognizes Thetis Islanders who are, as the name suggests, admirable stewards of the land and/or who are doing what they can to make Thetis Island a more robust and resilient place. For this, we welcome nominations for the Super Steward section for future issues!

Best to all in 2022,

Charlotte 

ThINC Education and Stewardship Coordinator

Seeking Long Term Accommodation

Hello Thetis!

I have just taken a position with BC Ferries and will be based on Thetis. I am looking for a little cabin, suite etc. preferably wifi and pet friendly as I have a little cat who “may” accompany me from time to time. I am a very clean, respectful, friendly person and will go out of my way to leave things in perfect shape. I am also open to a “house sitting” situation and am very open to discuss. 

Please email me if you would like to discuss an option. It’s very difficult to find something to n Thetis right now. 

Looking forward to hearing from you!
