Personal Shopper going to Nanaimo

I have to go to Nanaimo on Tuesday and I am willing to pick up what ever odds and sods someone may need that does not want to face the stores during the COVID-19 times, whether it be you are immuno compromised or simply don't want to go.

Please call, text, or email me and we will see what I can do for you.

Posted from a Gardening Source

PLEASE RESIST the urge to clean up your gardens until after temperatures are constantly above 10 degrees Celsius, 50 degrees Fahrenheit.  

Many butterflies, bees and other pollinators are currently overwintering in the dead leaves and hollowed out stems of last year's plants.

If you clean out your garden now, you will literally be throwing away this year's butterflies,bees and other beneficial pollinators.

Cancellation of March 19th Thetis Island Residents' and Ratepayers' Association Annual General Meeting

We are mindful that bringing a group of people together is not recommended at this time, due to our requirement to adhere to social distancing. According to health professionals, reducing contact with others is the best way to keep ourselves, our neighbours, our community and our most vulnerable safe.

Thank you to TIVFD for offering the use of the firehall as the venue.

This meeting is hereby cancelled until further notice.

Minutes of the January executive meeting with committee reports have been posted and further information will be forthcoming.

Vet Visit for Large Animals on April 30

We are having the large animal (livestock) vet from Mill Bay Veterinary do a farm call to Thetis on April 30.  

He is currently scheduled to see a few horses for routine vaccinations and dental checks, but can do more if anyone else needs something done for their livestock.

If you’d like to be added you can call the vet clinic or email them directly.

Brooding Equipment

We are adopting 6 girls (chickens), and will be needing some equipment.

We have a infrared heat bulb but wondering if anyone has a lamp fixture that we could borrow or rent or buy for a few weeks starting mid April.

Not sure if there is anything else we would need but all suggestions are welcome. We are new at this.

TIVFD: COVID-19

This is an excerpt from a letter to First Responder departments today from Bonnie Henry, Provincial Health Officer.  

The TIVFD asks that you follow these simple precautions:

The focus in BC continues to be to contain the spread of COVID-19 in our communities and at a provincial level. As you know, the majority of people who become infected with COVID-19 will experience a mild illness that will not require medical care, but those who are vulnerable to the disease—those who are elderly or who have underlying conditions that compromise the immune system—are at risk for severe illness.

To ensure we are able to provide patient care, especially to those most vulnerable, and to make sure that our health system and our health-care providers are able to care for those who become severely ill, we are asking people to self-monitor their health and to apply a low threshold when feeling unwell to stay home until they are better.

Thank you, Fire Chief J. Caldbeck
