Week 5 of 26 Weeks

26 Weeks to Emergency Preparedness

To help you accomplish this, Cowichan Valley Emergency Management published an Emergency Preparedness Workbook available online at

https://www.cvrd.ca/DocumentCenter/View/84184/MIECM-Emergency-Preparedness-Workbook---2017?bidId=

The " 26 Weeks " segment is a mere two pages of the workbook that is full of valuable information and worth reading all the way through. Copies are also available from your LERN captain. 

Week  5 Task: Get a large portable container with a tight fitting lid to use as a home emergency supplies kit. A large garbage can on wheels kept in an accessible location  near an exit or in a shed would be most suitable. Refer to page 11 & 12 of the workbook for the lists of supplies intended for this container. It is important that you find the right storage space for these supplies so they will not be damaged or become inaccessible during an earthquake etc. Plan in advance for alternative ways to care for your needs if services are disrupted including shelter, cooking, light, sanitation. (We know many Thetis Islanders have plenty of practice in this regard) .

Your ESS Team, wishing you good health and safety,

 Mary F, Petra A, Eleanor V, Gurk S and Virginia L.

Help with Internet connection

Hello, our daughter is visiting but needs to complete an online exam that requires more download speed than our WIFI offers. We are hoping someone has an Ethernet to USB cord that we can borrow so we can connect directly to the modem. USB (2.0 or 3.0) to Ethernet or USB-C (Thunderbolt) to Ethernet - either will work.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Please call 250-246-1593 or text 778-899-3216 or email davidreay@telus.net.

Last day of collection for Harvest House Food Bank donations will be Wednesday, December 16th at the fire hall.  Thank you to those whom have already dropped off your cans, jars and boxes of grocery items.

We are looking for volunteers for this Thursday, December 3rd and then in two weeks, December17th, to drop off the donations in Chemainus at the back of the United Church (blue door, down the steps) between 11am and 1pm.  If you are going to town on either of those days and can take some filled grocery bags, please let me know and we can arrange for you to pick up the bags or we can deliver them to your vehicle in the ferry line-up.  

Thank you for your generosity this season.

Christmas Bazaar

We tried but Covid 19 has made having a Christmas Bazaar just too iffy. So we have decided to cancel The Christmas Bazaar. 

Some of the vendors are willing to sell so check out either espokes or facebook for information about who will be selling from their homes. 

Let's hope that Covid 19 ends soon. But until then be safe.

Vehicles in Fairview Road

Would drivers using the road please take care, last Saturday I went out and was nearly thrown off my scooter due to the gravel and soil being gouged up. Also, the turning space has been churned up the same and they had taken the corner coming down and left their marks where it had gone off the road nearly into the ditch.  

Tonight, a vehicle came down twice and parked across my driveway entrance on both occasions. 

Please drivers drive slowly so you don’t make a mess of the road.  

I do not drive a car or a truck, I have a mobility scooter  

Thank you, 

Val Brown

Deck the Hall: Fa La La La La La La La La !

To bring some joy to all the TIVFD Volunteers, all those who head out on the Trails via the end of Mission Road, and to all of those who just want to see a bit of cheerful Holiday decorating, a small team is being assembled to decorate the Entry to the Fire Hall, with the TIID & TIVFD’s blessing ☺

We hope to find 5 households (due to COVID protocols this seems like the best way to accomplish this effort) who will be willing to take on one aspect of the plan.  There is lots of opportunity for creativity.  Some jobs are small, some take more hands… 

If your household would like to participate, please contact me, and we can sort out which part of the plan works best for you.  

The idea is to have the whole of this accomplished between December 1 & 12.
