Recycling Run to Bing's Creek

We've got some chores to do in Duncan next Tue Dec 8th including a trip to Bing's.

The truck and trailer will be mostly empty so I'd be happy to take your recycling too. (Not doing garbage). 

Your stuff will need to be clean and sorted into the different categories handled by Bing's:

- paper and cardboard can be together

- glass

- stretchy plastic

- crinkly plastic

- tin cans, milk bottles, plastic bottles etc. Can be together

Please put each lot into a plastic bag or cardboard box, which will also get recycled.

You can bring it to our place on Monday, or to the 8:05am ferry line-up on Tuesday morning. (Will be in line around 7:30).

Celebrating International Volunteer Day (IVD) December 5

IVD is a global celebration of volunteers. It takes place every year on December 5 to shine a light on the impact of volunteer efforts everywhere. This year’s theme – Together We Can Through Volunteering– developed by United Nations Volunteers, encourages us to thank volunteers for their actions and showcase the impact of volunteering during the COVID-19 crisis. 

It is with sincere appreciation that I thank you -  All Thetis Island volunteers and applaud your extra efforts in these extraordinary times. 

Sending you all the very best wishes for the Christmas and holiday season.  Continued good health and happiness for you and your family(s). 

I wish for you the gift of an ordinary day.

TIVFD: Looking for Someone to do a Simple Sewing Project

The TIVFD has purchased some Honeywell Uvex welding face shields as PPE for First Responder calls and we need some fleece bags made to store them in on the Rescue so they don’t get scratched.  

We have the fleece material. We just need someone with a machine to seam them into bags to fit.  

There is a photo on Thetis Posts, showing the size; they fit into the short paper Thrifty’s grocery bag.  Please write to chief11@telus.net if you can manufacture some for us.

Thanks.

Trails: A Big Thank You

To Chris Call for removing sections of downed trees to make the Lawrence Valley Loop passable again. 

He also cut the sections into disks for use as stepping stones in wet sections - we appreciate your hard work!  And another big thank you to Noah and Finn Bond for carrying the disks to where they were needed.  

We couldn’t maintain the trail system that Islanders enjoy without the help of volunteers like Chris, Noah and Finn.  

Thank you!

Harvest House Hamper Drive

The first delivery of your Thetis Island grocery donations to the food bank in Chemainus was made Thursday by volunteer driver Amanda Frisby, much to our thanks and great appreciation from Harvest House.  

You now have until December 16th to drop off your non-expired grocery items in the box at the front door of the Fire Hall.  

Merry Gooding has volunteered to transport those, so let’s “load ‘er up” with more non-perishable items that will help to feed and comfort those neighbours struggling this year to make ends meet with the added burden of the pandemic.
