Free Bedframe

We have a twin to queen bedframe to anyone who needs it. I don't think that it has the nuts & bolts with it.

Thetis-grown Broiler chickens

Now taking orders for the last batch of broilers for the year. Our birds are plump, juicy and delicious. They are raised naturally on pasture and are moved onto new grass every day. 

They finish at 4-7 lbs each and cost is $6/ lb or $13.20/ kg. Birds are sold fresh so you can cut them into pieces and freeze them or roast them whole. 

Please reserve now for the October 17th batch.

Lucy’s Birthday

Tomorrow, October 1, is Lucy Hayward’s 90th birthday. This well known and loved senior on Thetis has blessed us with her cheerful presence for decades.  For many she has been an example of how to age gracefully while living each day with joy and confidence. She has no desire to leave Thetis anytime soon.....where else could she swim in the ocean almost daily for 4 months of the year?

Wouldn’t she be amazed to find 90 cards or notes with good wishes and appreciation filling her mailbox (she doesn’t do email).                

Let’s go for it!

Ron Hyatt

Ron Hyatt, long time resident of Thetis Island and just shy of his 99th birthday, died peacefully in Cowichan District Hospital late Tuesday afternoon.  His son Geoffrey from Haida Gwaii and niece Jeannine were at his side. 

A small private family interment in St. Margaret’s Cemetery will take place In the coming days.  The family wishes to thank the TIVFD first responders for their care when evacuating Ron off the island for his last boat trip.

Forbes Hall Vote Results / Thank You

On Saturday a vote was held by the TICA membership to make the important decision to allow borrowing to fund the completion of the Forbes Hall Expansion.

There were 131 ballots cast, and a ⅔^rds majority (67%) for approval was needed for the motion to pass, therefore there would need to be at least 88 members approving the motion.

Final count was 104 - Yes, and 27 - No; this meant that 79% approved the motion, and the motion passed.

Thank you to all of those who came out on Saturday to make this important decision.   

Thank you to all of those volunteers who set up and took down all the equipment, to those who managed all the voting protocols, and those who were on hand at the meeting making sure all participants were registered, and were on hand to answer the many questions.

It was a long day of voting, and the patience and kindness of everyone was appreciated. 

Thank you 

TICA Board
