Red Plane Buzzing Thetis

At 7:10 PM on July 2/19, a red plane was buzzing over the tree tops on Pilkey Point Road on Thetis Island.

I have put up with this annoyance in the past, but tonight I phoned the RCMP to finally deal with it. If you too are annoyed with this continued harassment of our peace and quiet, I would encourage you to lodge a complaint. I know that people are annoyed with the freighter anchorages affecting our sea beds, but I am sick and tired of the noise pollution as well!

Speak up and phone the RCMP!”

Saturday: Possible Smoke

Telegraph Harbour Marina will again have Smitty’s Smokin’ Hot commercial portable oven on their property for their catering needs on Saturday July 6th.  This rotisserie oven is completely enclosed and propane but does vent some white, sparkless smoke occasionally during the roasting process.  Telegraph Harbour Marina and Smitty’s are also careful to have fire suppression water and tools on site.  

We appreciate all reports of smoke during wildfire season, and if you are unsure this Saturday whether the smoke you may see at Telegraph Harbour Marina is from their roasting trailer, please don’t hesitate to call 911 or the TIVFD Duty Officer at 250-252-0228.

TIVFD: Timely Reminder

As we head deeper into fire season and the expectation of a High Hazards Activity shutdown in the near future, we want to remind you that the fire trucks and the rescue truck need a 12’ wide clearance and a 16’ height clearance on your driveway to be able to access you in an emergency. 

Please ensure nothing from the December storm has come lower and that branches are cleared back. Even small branches could take out a Radio Aerial and cause communications problems for the fire department. 

We won’t be coming down your driveway if it isn’t cleared. 

Thank you for making sure your lot number is visible from both directions.
