Getting Forbes Hall Ready to Welcome Us Back!

There are several jobs that need to be completed before Forbes Hall is ready to welcome the community back.  Volunteers are needed to complete the listed jobs.  While a few intrepid volunteers have been continuously getting some of the more finicky jobs done, there are other specific jobs that need more people to help with.

These jobs are the most immediate and need to be completed by early June. While there will still be more jobs to be finished, they will be posted as needed. 

Please email info@forbeshall.ca with your availability and the jobs you can help with.  Teams will need to be assembled, providing several dates to work from will be appreciated.  

Alternately, you can self-assemble with others, and let us know when you’ll be doing the work.  Someone will meet you on-site to explain the tasks more fully.

Health Care Practitioners at Forbes Hall

In our recent survey to determine the community's level of interest in seeing various activities and services provided at the hall, there was significant interest shown in massage therapy and physiotherapy as well as foot care and acupuncture.  

One individual indicated the possibility of offering Reiki.  The Programming Outreach Committee would appreciate hearing from individuals qualified to offer services and/or individuals who are currently using these services nearby who believe that their practitioner might be interested in working on Thetis for a day or two each month.   (Discussions have already begun with RMT, Jennifer Neilson).  

Please email the committee at forbeshallprograms@gmail.com to advise of your interest in providing services or your recommendations regarding practitioners we should contact.  

Thanks for your assistance.

Fire Season has Started

Gardeners already know how dry it is on Thetis when digging in their vegetable starts. And last week, just after the local drizzle, we had a small, early morning bush fire ignited by a downed power line.  Monday afternoon three fire halls and the Cobble Hill forestry crew with the water-bucketing helicopter actioned a large bush fire in Maple Bay at Stoney Hill Regional Park.  All of this points to an early start to fire season.  

Please be very careful with yard waste fires - use a lot of water to extinguish them so that they don't "go to ground" and ignite from underground embers in the coming weeks.

Thank you.

Succulents Needed for School Garden

We are planting a succulent garden at the school and we are looking for donations of succulents. They do not have to be in pots. A cardboard box with succulents and a bit of soil will be fine. 

You can drop them off at the school on Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday of this week. 

Thanks so much for helping us with our very special garden.
