Pre-Order Fresh Peonies

I would like to thank you all for your huge support buying grandma's flowers at the last year's summer market - I enjoyed getting to know my community.

Sadly, due to coronavirus, the market was cancelled this year. But Marylyn has been very kind to let me set up a table for my flowers at the Howling Wolf Farm Market and I am so thankful.

We planted so much more peonies than last year!

You can pre-order PEONY bouquets during the week by sending an email to my mom kristinakasting@icloud.com OR call/text her 250-510-0283 

We'll be getting bouquets ready on Friday so you can pick them up on Saturday at Howling Wolf from 12noon to 4pm.

$10.00 a bouquet OR $15.00 for two bouquets

E-transfer to kristinakasting@icloud.com or leave cash in the "Flower money" jar during pickup.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Thetis Island School Wins Award

I wanted to let everyone in the Thetis Island Community know that Thetis Island Elementary School has won a Golden Star Award of $1500.00. This award is from the British Columbia Retired Teachers Association. It is awarded to a classroom and their teacher, who involve senior citizens. There are six classrooms in the province of BC who get this award every year. So this is quite an honour for our school and community. 

We are getting this award because we have amazing community support from our seniors at Thetis Island Elementary School. There will be a presentation with a trophy and certificates on Thetis Island, for our students by members of the British Columbia Retired Teachers Association at a time in the future when we can gather as a group. Our school is also being recognized at our School District 79 board meeting on June 2nd. 

Many Thanks to all our seniors who support our small school.

A special thanks to Kelly and Matti Bannister for doing an amazing job of the photo and video portion of the application.

BC COVID-19 Speak: Your Story, Our Future

BC COVID-19 SPEAK: Your story, our future is a population health survey to elicit citizen experience, knowledge and actions during the COVID-19 pandemic. This survey is the first of several activities that will strengthen our pandemic response and our understanding of the impacts of COVID-19 to date (social, economic, mental wellness and community wellness).
I have been advised that very few CVRD Area G residents have filled out the BC Health COVID-19 Survey. Our postal codes are like our finger prints and unique to CVRD Area G Saltair/Gulf Island residents.

Thank you for participating.
