Clarification about Registering for the COVID Clinic on Thetis

There has been a flurry of confusion about family, friends and visitors of islanders registering for our community covid vaccine clinic.  We are trying to capture the people who live here full or part time and their support people who visit to do things for their aging parents or friends, to babysit grandchildren, who work here, who take part in our community activities on a regular basis, and are generally part of the fabric of our community. 

If you are a relative or friend who visits once every few years or used to live here and don't normally still take part in events here, then your community bubble would be elsewhere. 

Are you in our community bubble?  If yes, then register here.

Questions can still be addressed to covidclinic@thetisislandfire.ca

Dandelion Patch Needed!

Hello all,

In a workshop led by Carol Swann, our ThINC ReGen team is hoping to make some dandelion salve in the next couple of weeks, but we first need some dandelions!  Does anyone have a large patch of blooming, herbicide free dandelions (400-600) they wouldn't mind sharing with us? Some of our students are getting around via bike, so somewhere in the south island (or off North Cove Road) would be amazing! 

Please get in touch with me at charlotte@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org

Thank you so much,

Charlotte

Volunteer Call-out: Forbes Hall Community Centre

•        Sorting through Boxes

Two volunteers are needed to look through the piles of library boxes to find anything other than books!  Probably will not take much more than an hour.  Would prefer that both people work together on this.  If two people want to pair up, let us know when you plan to be there; otherwise, a day and time can be sorted between those that reply to this post.  

Masks are required, and there are doors to open to keep the air fresh.  Boxes were packed to be manageable weight-wise, but there are many of them!  This job is to be completed by the end of the weekend.  

•       Assembly and Install of Storage Shelving

Two – three volunteers are needed to get the storage shelving moved to the correct locations and rebuilt. The units are large and require some skill at basic assembly.  They are “snap-together” units.  Rubber mallets would be a handy tool to have on hand, as well as gloves.

Masks are required, and there are doors to open to keep the air fresh. The day and time will be arranged between those that reply to this post.  This job is to be completed by the end of the weekend.   

•     Exterior Yard Clean-up

Four – five volunteers are needed to work on the grounds and driveway area.  Please meet at Forbes Hall on Tuesday morning 9:00 am.  Please bring shovels, rakes and gloves. Have masks for when you are working within 6 feet of others and wear sturdy footwear.  

Please reply to dickie.ann@gmail.com to sign up, or for more information.

Many thanks in advance for the continued participation!

COVID Vaccination Clinic, April 28 & 29

This is a reminder that the COVID vaccination clinic on Thetis is still scheduled for the 28th and 29th of April, and it is open to islanders and their families, visitors and guests.  There are still lots of slots open, especially on the 29th, so if you would like to be included, you can register online at  

https://www2.gov.bc.ca/getvaccinated.html

or perhaps better still by phone at 1-833-838-2323, as that way you can be sure of being registered for the one on Thetis.  Please note that we can't register you, and your being on the original list that we set up isn't the same as being registered with VIHA - they have complete control of the process, so you have to register individually, either yourself or with the help of a friend.

If you have any questions or concerns, email covidclinic@thetisislandfire.ca
