St.Margaret's Cemetery: Thank You

Many thanks to the crew who came out and helped construct the split rail fences at St.Margaret’s Cemetery. Beautiful job done under the direction of Tom Anderson.

It is wonderful to see so many of these restoration and development projects come to completion thanks to the generosity and skills of the many volunteers who have helped over the last five years.

The cemetery is looking well cared for and remains a special space for our community

November to April Burning Regulations

On Thetis Island, from November through to April 1st a fire permit is not required from the TIVFD for campfires (Category 1) or hand piled yard waste fires (Category 2) or approved incinerators (Category 2).  Machine piled (Category 3) fires still require a Provincial Burn Registration number, available by calling 1 888 797-1717.

From November to April you still must check the Venting Index for Southern Vancouver Island on the day of your proposed fire BEFORE you ignite it to determine if the Venting Index is “Good” ( you may light your fire) or “Poor” (you may not light your fire).  The Ministry of Environment sets the index daily at 7 a.m.  

If you can possibly avoid it, please do not burn leaves.  Burning leaves produces unnecessary smoke. They compost well in the woods or add them to your garden soil.  Winter decomposing leaves harbour many overwintering beneficial pollinating insects and other wildlife.

Campfires must continue to be less than 1/2 meter (18”) wide and yard waste piles less than 3 metres (10 feet) wide.  All fires must be attended, and no fires allowed to be abandoned overnight.  Yard waste fires must be started one hour after sunrise or later and extinguished by the later of 4 pm or 2 hours before sunset.

As always, no construction/deconstruction debris or garbage is allowed, and tools and water for extinguishment must be present at your burn site.

Solar Panels Available

We have a large order of 60 cell, the standard size solar panels, 250w, coming in and will be available on a first come first serve basis. We also have our next order of hybrid inverters small ones 12v for vans and such, medium size 24v units for travel trailers, motorhomes, and small cabins/homes, this is the one we are currently installing in our own large 5th wheel, and two sizes of 48v units for larger applications. Three of them can even be paralleled for 3-phase power.

For those of you exploring the costs and savings of solar power, we would be happy to take the time to go through it with you and can design, provide all of the materials, install the system and arrange for the electrician to do the final inspection and connection.

As a point of reference current systems are coming in at 6-8 cents a kwh compared to 8.5 and 12.5 that you are paying hydro currently. 

Contrary to popular misconceptions, solar panels generate 30-45% of their power from the portion of the suns spectrum outside of visible light. In other words, principally ultra violet and infrared which penetrate cloud cover.
