Forbes Hall Volunteers Update

Howdy Friends n Neighbors

We've made great progress on the rebar placement and tieing. It is certainly not hard work, I'd compare it to weeding your garden. Should anyone be interested, having construction site experience would be a great asset but not necessary. Tools are supplied, gloves and steel toes are recommended PPE for the job. One more volunteer for the morning 8-12 would be a great asset. With the right tools and attitude work be becomes fun.

Please let me know ahead of time if you are interested, I need to let Michel &/or Chad know who's coming so they can plan accordingly.

The staining of  2x8 & 2x10 will be delayed a few more days yet. They are not 2x6 & 2x8 as I previously stated. I've not seen the material myself yet to know their lengths but will share that once I know.

Oh, oh this chippy ol hockey player just about forgot, as we're rubbing shoulders from a socially acceptable distance your shoulder pads are discretionary. 

Until then as 🐅 would say

Happy Earth Week

It's Earth Week, a celebration of the earth and nature, culminating in Earth Day on April 22 each year. To acknowledge the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, ThINC had been planning a grand opening event of the new trail through the Fairyslipper Forest Nature Reserve, however social distancing requirements meant that we've had to postpone the opening until a later date.

As an alternative, we encourage you to tune in online to a special series of Earth Week talks organized by Creatively United Community called EarthFest Live 2020: Creative Solutions for a New World. All the speakers are from Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands with a different topic each day. Thetis Island's own Katia Bannister will be one of the guest speakers on Wednesday during an event titled: Creating a Liveable Future - A Youth Perspective.  The live feed runs from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m each day. You can find information about the series and register at creativelyunited.org/earthfest-live/

We hope you can get outside and appreciate Thetis Island's natural environment during this special week.

Looking for Kickboxing Bags

Hey everyone,

Hope you're all staying safe! As it looks as though I'll be without a gym for the foreseeable future, I am in search of a kickboxing heavy and/or speedbag to purchase/borrow, if anyone has one lying around. Hanging frame not needed, and either filled or empty would be great!

Cheers,

Aislinn
