Forbes Hall - to Mask or not to Mask?

As the hall reopens to many activities, and the province has just updated its recommendations regarding mask use, it is good to remind ourselves of those recommendations when attending an activity at Forbes Hall.

Mask Guidance

Masks are recommended in indoor public settings for all people 12 and older who are not yet fully vaccinated.  

• You're fully vaccinated 14 days after dose 2
• Masks are optional for children aged 2 to 12
• Children under 2 should not wear masks
• Proof of vaccination does not need to be requested by service providers
• Some people may choose to continue to wear a mask after they're fully vaccinated and that's okay

Ferry Ramp Update

BC Ferries has put on a water taxi until the ramp gets fixed. The small emergency boat is being used until they get the larger water taxi up from Salt Spring.  In the meantime the dock maintenance crew may have resolved the issue!

ATV Help

Our ATV needs its solenoid replaced. 
We have the part but lack the required expertise!  It’s a Yamaha Kodiak quad.

If you know how to do it please let us know and we’d be happy to pay for the service.

Islands Trust Council Business Decision Highlights

https://mailstorm.caorda.com/campaigns/ro0329s9m77a0/web-version/bz299xot5we64

Notice of Trust Council Meeting re New Policy Statement Bylaw

I’m encouraging Thetis Islanders to consider reviewing and attending the Trust Council meeting July 8 re a new trust policy statement being voted on.  This is a virtual meeting.

There is significant opposition on multiple other islands re this document.  There are articles in the Driftwood etc. and a huge Facebook group.  I have no idea if their concerns are justified / exaggerated but thought folks might want to attend the meeting to get informed as I am trying to do. 
From my reading of it.  It appears that this policy/ bylaw will supersede individual islands decisions on individual community island plans, so could strongly affect our island with its own land planning decisions.

I wish we had a forum for discussing things like this on Thetis. 

Meeting is during business hours.
