National Volunteer Week

Greetings all Thetis Islanders  

April 19-25th is National Volunteer week.  

It's time to applaud this country's volunteers and of course including our awesome Thetis Island volunteers! 

As we celebrate the dedication and generosity of almost 13 million fellow Canadians (you included) who volunteer from coast-to-coast, let’s join together to applaud the immense contribution to our country and our community during National Volunteer Week and beyond. 

A personal note of gratitude for the extra efforts and ongoing gift of time given by all Thetis Island volunteers.  

I call this part of the happiness factor.  

You do good things.  

THANK YOU.

Thank You, Arthur and Leon

A very big Thank You from the TIVFD to our community neighbour Arthur Gooding for manufacturing and donating the head gear holders, and to Leon Signs in Duncan for donating the clear Mylar.

The First Responders now have some great, reusable face shields for medical calls.

They were unavailable to purchase due to the pandemic, and Arthur immediately stepped up to help us out and keep us safe.
