Summer Market 2020 Cancelled

Helen and I have thought long and hard on this decision and have decided to cancel this year's Summer Market.

With the Covid-19 still out there we thought it best for Thetis Island to stay free and clear of this pandemic.

Sorry to all and hope that 2021 brings us clear sailing.

Thank you

Gloria and Helen

Propane Fill Ups

Anyone wishing to get their propane tanks filled on Fridays please bring them down between 11 and 12.

If you bring them after 12(Noon) there is a chance I may not be able to fill them because of my Post Office duties. I am also not here on the weekends so the soonest it would be filled is on Monday.
