26 Weeks to Emergency Preparedness

To help you accomplish this, Cowichan Valley Emergency Management published an Emergency Preparedness Workbook available online at

https://www.cvrd.ca/DocumentCenter/View/84184/MIECM-Emergency-Preparedness-Workbook---2017?bidId=

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. 

Week 4 Task: Stock your home with at least a seven-day supply of potable (drinking) water for each family member including pets. That's approx. 1 gallon per person per day. Some Thetis Islanders have secure storage in the form of tanks or cisterns. Wells may be affected by earthquake so may not be counted on as storage. See page 6 and 7 of the workbook.

Your ESS Team, hoping you are well and safe at this time,

Mary F, Petra A, Eleanor V, Gurk S and Virginia L.

Golden Star Award

Thetis Island Elementary School applied for and won an award last year, from the BC Retired Teachers Association called the Golden Star Award. This award is for classroom teachers that involve seniors in the education of their students. Thetis Island Elementary School has had seniors and other community members very involved in our small school for years. The Retired Teachers Association has a video link on their website that features Thetis Island Elementary School and another school that won the award.   

Thank you to Kelly Bannister for putting together the video for this award. 

Here is the link for the Golden Star Award video.

Neighbourhood Concern

Hello Neighbours, 

Over that last few months we have found four deceased animals in our neighbourhood.  One young doe, a mouse, a rat, and today a young female river otter curled up dead in a drainage ditch. These animals have not appeared to have sustained any visible injuries.

They’ve been found between Pilkey Point Road, lower hill and Marina Drive. Today's discovery was very sad and discouraging.  I suggest that pet owners be aware, in case of the possibility of poisoning.

From the Library...

Hello readers!

Some catalogued Thetis Island Library books have accidentally been put into the book exchange boxes on Pilkey Point Road. The library books have a spine label and a pocket inside.

If you have one of these library books, please call me so I can straighten this out.  I sure don't want to have to buy them again.  One title is Maisie Dobbs.

Thank you.

Celine,

Librarian 250-246-4349

Thetis Island Pub Mask Regulations

Due to the government mandate, all patrons of the marina (pub, liquor store or gas dock) are required by law to wear a mask.

Patrons not wearing a mask will be asked to wear one.

Patrons not wearing a mask/refuse to wear one will be refused service.

Thank you for your cooperation during these difficult times. 

Thank you,

Melissa

Natural Building Colloquium

Hello fellow Thetis Islanders,

Recently I have been working with a small and very dynamic team from Vancouver Island preparing an online conference entitled Advancing Natural Building & Ecological Design Colloquium 

The event takes place Friday-Saturday-Sunday November 27-28-29.

Likely some people on this wonderful island that may be interested in learning more about the matter. You are welcome to check it out here: https://anbc2020.heysummit.com/

If you have any questions or simply cannot afford the ticket price, don’t let any of that prevent you from participating, please call me at 613-883-6746.

Thank you, Joel

Fleece Available for Felting

I have a large bag of soft clean dyed fleece leftover from combing. If anyone wants it for felting, it would be perfect for making dryer balls or other felted items. 

$10 for the whole bag
