TICA Secures Funding for Completion of the Forbes Hall Expansion Project

The TICA Board of Directors is pleased to announce that necessary financing has been secured to complete the Forbes Hall Expansion Project.  The total amount to be borrowed for completion is $395,000, significantly less than was estimated in September 2020. The remarkable generosity of our Local Lenders, who have loaned TICA $335,000, has reduced the amount of commercial borrowing to $60,000. 

After negotiations with Van City Credit Union, Coastal Community Credit Union, and the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), TICA signed a line of credit for up to $60,000 with RBC. They offered the lowest interest rate, and no fees, the least expensive, commercial-financial alternative of all three institutions.   TICA will now continue with the final stages of the project - the purchase of a generator, a rain collection system, and the final installations in the kitchen.  Funds from the line of credit will only be accessed when required.

The next step will be preparing a plan to repay the loans. Over the summer, several paths will be explored to get Back to the Black, these options will be presented to the community in the fall. 

Thank you for your continued support of the Forbes Hall Community Centre, 

Ron Bannister 

President - Thetis Island Community Association

Organic Fish Compost

We are getting ready for another delivery (or two) of organic fish compost from Earthbank. It's already time to think about top dressing gardens for winter and their stock is running low, so we are getting our reservation in early.

Cost will be the same as the spring: $110/yard
Pick up at Jollity Farm or we can help organize a dumping trailer for larger loads.

Please contact Elisabeth at info@jollityfarm.ca or text 250.415.0101 with questions or reservation requests.
