TIVFD Thanks Everyone

Thanks for checking on neighbours after the storm. Power may not have been be restored to everyone yet but Hydro is working hard on it. Great people make for a great community. And aren’t we all glad we didn’t have to deal with snow at the same time!

Thanks, from ThINC

A big thank you to those who helped 'tuck in' the PAG for a long winter's nap - Dano, Sahir, David, and Jana (and the Vandergaags’ for their truck and Paolo for your supervisory skills).

We now have a fresh load of manure and piles of leaves!

A significant fall storm is set to impact Vancouver Island beginning on Tuesday. An area of low pressure will deepen rapidly some 400 kms west of Vancouver Island on Tuesday. This low is forecast to then curl northwards on Wednesday, remaining offshore through the period.

Coastal areas will see southeasterly winds increase through the afternoon on Tuesday, with peak wind speeds expected for most areas on Tuesday night. Strong winds are likely to continue Wednesday morning but should ease later in the day.

-Strong winds may down trees or cause tree limbs to break.

-Be prepared for power outages.

-Travel delays will be possible.

-Secure loose outdoor objects.
