Remembrance Day Service - Cancelled this Year

Following direction from the Canadian Legion as well as the Provincial and Federal governments, the Thetis Island VFD will not be holding our flag lowering remembrance service on November 11th this year. 

Instead, we join with the Legion in asking you to pause and remember at home:  

“On the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, we remember all of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and honour all of the Canadian men and women who currently serve our country.”  

Let us remember together, apart.

Forbes Hall Expansion Update: Construction ~ November 2, 2020

Thetis Island Community Association

Over the past month, there has been much activity in the hall as the membership’s approval to borrow has allowed for the project to move forward to completion!  In October all of the electrical and mechanical installations were completed to the point that an incredible volunteer group was able to get going on insulating the building. 

With the electrical and mechanical inspections completed (until the final), the installation of insulation, vapour barrier- and drywall can be completed. Doors and large feature windows are in place, and once the final large entry doors have arrived and are installed the final application of siding will be finished.

The drywall contractor found a great deal on sheetrock, saving the project about 15% on materials.  The day it was being delivered, there were ten workers on-site, as well as the six-member Project Management Team.  Their meeting was held in the Library, where they were able to physically distance amongst the piles of sheetrock, while work went on in the rest of the building. The new skylights brought lots of light into the room making it a great place to meet. Soon there will be ancillary heating, and as the days get cooler it will be a huge improvement to have a heated space to meet in, and for the workers, too!

The response to volunteer callouts has been enormously supportive.  People have been showing up to work, not easy work, for long, steady hours.  During the mechanical and electrical installations equipment and materials lay throughout the building, and the cleaners somehow still managed to get the construction area swept and organized for the next day.  The work these volunteers are doing for their community is very much appreciated and knowing that so many people have actively engaged in this project, speaks volumes about Thetis Islanders. 

Please consider joining the ever-expanding group of people who are bringing this project to completion.  Some of the volunteer jobs are behind the scenes and only require a commitment of several hours a week.  Whether turning up to pitch in and help with construction volunteering or offering some expertise or willingness to the various committees, your time and contribution will be welcomed!  Please contact Greg Gall at gnpgall@gmail.com if you’re interested in helping in construction, or Teresa Moore at teresamoore386@gmail.com for participation within a committee. 

Thank you to Michel, Chad, Liam, Mike, and Mark, your community appreciates the great work you are doing to get this project not only completed but with excellence!

St.Margaret's Cemetery: Thank You

Many thanks to the crew who came out and helped construct the split rail fences at St.Margaret’s Cemetery. Beautiful job done under the direction of Tom Anderson.

It is wonderful to see so many of these restoration and development projects come to completion thanks to the generosity and skills of the many volunteers who have helped over the last five years.

The cemetery is looking well cared for and remains a special space for our community

November to April Burning Regulations

On Thetis Island, from November through to April 1st a fire permit is not required from the TIVFD for campfires (Category 1) or hand piled yard waste fires (Category 2) or approved incinerators (Category 2).  Machine piled (Category 3) fires still require a Provincial Burn Registration number, available by calling 1 888 797-1717.

From November to April you still must check the Venting Index for Southern Vancouver Island on the day of your proposed fire BEFORE you ignite it to determine if the Venting Index is “Good” ( you may light your fire) or “Poor” (you may not light your fire).  The Ministry of Environment sets the index daily at 7 a.m.  

If you can possibly avoid it, please do not burn leaves.  Burning leaves produces unnecessary smoke. They compost well in the woods or add them to your garden soil.  Winter decomposing leaves harbour many overwintering beneficial pollinating insects and other wildlife.

Campfires must continue to be less than 1/2 meter (18”) wide and yard waste piles less than 3 metres (10 feet) wide.  All fires must be attended, and no fires allowed to be abandoned overnight.  Yard waste fires must be started one hour after sunrise or later and extinguished by the later of 4 pm or 2 hours before sunset.

As always, no construction/deconstruction debris or garbage is allowed, and tools and water for extinguishment must be present at your burn site.
