Ken & Genny Redman – Moving Off Island…

We are leaving Thetis Island. As we say this to one another, we cannot help but say "really?" This is a wonderful place to live, and we have loved both the people and the place. All of this will travel with us to our new home. The mountains still call to both of our hearts, and we can answer that call in the North Okanagan.

Please welcome the new owners of our home, who come from Victoria.

On Saturday May 9th from 10-3, St. Margaret’s Cemetery Committee will be having its annual maintenance day. The cemetery is a vault of island history and is the permanent home for many of our forebears.

Please plan to join us, we encourage everyone to participate. If possible, please bring small garden tools for general landscaping and/or scrub brushes and water pails to clean grave markers.

We would encourage you to contribute to the picnic lunch, where we will remember and celebrate the lives that came before us.

Fire Danger Hazard Moved in the Right Direction

We moved up to HIGH Hazard last Saturday, which meant that High Hazard Activities had to be restricted starting last Tuesday this week Thanks to the recent cloud cover, higher humidity and a higher dew point, we have moved down to MODERATE Hazard once again.

By regulation, we have to hold for three days in MODERATE before we can rescind the restriction on High Hazard Activities. This means that starting this SATURDAY, May 9th, the outdoor work activity restrictions are off and you no longer have to cease your mowing, chain sawing, excavating, etc by one o’clock.

MODERATE Hazard is still a hazard though, so please be careful about creating sparks etc. Call 911 if you see any columns of smoke.

As per the Provincial Ban, ALL OUTDOOR FIRES ARE PROHIBITED UNTIL OCTOBER 31st. This includes campfires. (Approved propane campfire appliances are allowed).

Let’s all hope we can keep this moderate weather for a while (good for growing peas and lettuce) before the Fire Danger Hazard Rating rises again.

Looking for a Rental or House Swap This Summer/Fall

Hello friends and neighbours,

My son Noan, his wife, and their two daughters (ages 11 & 8) will be visiting from Bali this summer/fall from August 10 - October 10.

Some of you may remember them from their visit a few years ago - “the summer of the mosquitoes” - when they joined the Howling Wolf Market and participated in various community events, including Andy’s intertidal walks and other ThINC gatherings.

We’re reaching out to see if anyone might have a place available during that time, either for part or all of their stay. If you happen to be travelling or away this summer, they would be very happy to rent your home.

They’re also open to the possibility of a house swap in Bali. Noan and his family have a lovely home in the Ubud area and often travel for extended periods, so even if your timing doesn’t line up this summer, a future exchange could still be possible.

If you have something available, or know someone who might, please reach out to Jan Fesnoux, Noan's mom, at jan.fesnoux@gmail.com or 250 246 3469.

Thanks so much. Any leads are greatly appreciated!
