The " 26 Weeks " segment is a mere two pages of the workbook that is full of valuable information and worth reading all the way through. Copies are also available from your LERN captain.

Get a wind-up or battery operated radio and extra batteries for your emergency kit.  Sets are available that will also charge up your phone. Wind-up flashlights can also be useful.

TIVFD: Volunteer Leadership Position Available

The TIVFD Auxiliary Rest & Rehab Team is looking for a new Team Leader to take on the organizational aspects of the program.  Since the inception of the TIVFD Auxiliary programs, Merry Gooding has led the Rest & Rehab Team with skill and dedication but is now stepping back to team member status.  

The Rest & Rehab Team support the TIVFD firefighters at extended emergency events by providing nourishments and replacement fluids in a safe zone, by monitoring the fire fighters’ base line health during an extended event, and by assisting with traffic control duties if necessary.  Traditionally, the AUX. Rest & Rehab Team has also facilitated the Flu Shot Clinic and Remembrance Day coffee service for participants.  Each June the Auxiliary Teams take part in a combined TIVFD/TIVFD Aux Teams wildfire disaster drill.  Also in June, all members are invited to the TIVFD Annual Pot Luck BBQ Picnic.

If you have good organizational skills, a phone and a computer for emails, a licensed and insured vehicle, and a willingness to help out your fire department on the very occasional times additional support duties are needed, please contact  Fire Chief Jeannine Caldbeck at chief11@telus.net with your expression of interest and for more information. Your fire department and your team are eager to meet you.

Subject: Men in Black

Over the holidays we have noticed a number of people walking or jogging on Thetis roads wearing entirely black clothing.  Please don't do this! 

Car drivers need to be able to see you at a distance in order to safely avoid you, but dark-colored clothing tends to visually blend into the background of trees.

Please try to wear light-colored clothing, and be particularly alert around blind corners.

Sad News ~ Freya Fullner

Former Thetis Islander Freya Fullner passed away Thursday morning (December 31st) at the Cowichan District Hospital with her daughter Inga by her side.

Freya lived on Thetis Island for 19 years where she loved to garden, oil paint and pottery. I think we all have one (or many) of her pieces of pottery. 

Freya leaves behind her two sons, a daughter, and her best friend Theresa Elsie.
