Top Soil & Compost Update

Thanks to everyone who has ordered soil & compost. Most people have collected their compost at this point. If we missed your order or there are enough new requests for another truckload (= 20 yards) we can get that ball rollin. Just let us know. The updated cost for certified organic fish compost is $110/yd. We are sharing compost 'at cost' and only a $5/yd tractor and handling fee included in this price. Transportation costs were raised from the original cost due to labour and fuel increases at Earthbank.

Top Soil - as most of you know, the top soil delivery was delayed as previously the material was too wet and therefore too heavy for a full truck load. We've had regular updates from Earthbank and anticipate deliveries next week. Once we have confirmation we'll email or call you to arrange pick up.

With thanks from farmers Noah, Elisabeth & Finn

Clarification about Registering for the COVID Clinic on Thetis

There has been a flurry of confusion about family, friends and visitors of islanders registering for our community covid vaccine clinic.  We are trying to capture the people who live here full or part time and their support people who visit to do things for their aging parents or friends, to babysit grandchildren, who work here, who take part in our community activities on a regular basis, and are generally part of the fabric of our community. 

If you are a relative or friend who visits once every few years or used to live here and don't normally still take part in events here, then your community bubble would be elsewhere. 

Are you in our community bubble?  If yes, then register here.

Questions can still be addressed to covidclinic@thetisislandfire.ca
