Internet Performance Test

Economic Development Cowichan is embarking on a project to better understand the state of internet connectivity in Cowichan, so that we can create a strategy to meet the connectivity needs of the region long into the future. With more and more essential services and business and community activities moving online since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, it has never been more important to ensure that everyone has access to the benefits that connectivity has to offer. 

Today, we are introducing the Internet Performance Test (IPT), a tool that will help us monitor internet speed and quality across the region. Armed with this information, we will seek to identify areas of concern and unlock funding sources to improve connectivity in those areas. In order to build the most complete picture of the current state of internet connectivity in Cowichan, we need as many people as possible to perform internet speed tests from their home and/or workplace. I encourage you all to take the test!

We are also looking for your help to spread the word. Please share the attached news release with your followers, subscribers, colleagues, friends, family and neighbours. You may also share our social media posts here:

With your help, we can work towards a connected Cowichan where everyone has access to reliable, affordable high-speed internet.  

Thank you!

ThINC Community Composting Project - Survey Reminder & Call for Composting Experts

Hi Thetis Island residents! 

If you haven't done so, please take some time to fill out our short community composting survey. We want to hear from you! Adding your voice will help us understand the composting habits of our residents and the interest in a community composting initiative. This survey will only take a few minutes to complete and all responses will remain anonymous.

The link to this survey can be found here: https://forms.gle/NfniumjFCDxXJvLV7

If you would like a paper copy of this survey, we will be at the various Island markets on Saturday July 24th, between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm. 

Woah, WOAH, slow your scroll wrangler!
 

ThINC is looking to see if anyone in the community is interested in sharing how they go about composting, whether that be via a digester, 3 bins, vermiculture, or hugelkultur. This is a great opportunity for anyone who is interested in sharing their composting secrets with the community! As well, we are hoping to see if there are any community experts who would be willing to work with the ThINCPOD to facilitate a composting workshop later on in the summer. ThINCPod feels it's important for community members to share their expertise as Thetis is a unique space with special characteristics, and what works in Albuquerque might not work here!

Wanted: Fridge

Clean. Good connect. Will consider any size. Thank you.
