Our old (403) numbers are no longer active.
We're getting closer to becoming "real" B.C. residents :-)
Sunday, August 18, 2019 at 10:24AM I have an old table saw that’s probably not working...but likely fixable. Let me know if interested.
Text or call 250-416-9771
Sunday, August 18, 2019 at 10:23AM We are in need of a FRAMED back pack that could be modified to carry a small fire pump in the bush. A “Trapper Nelson” would work great (if you’re old enough to have one out in the back shed collecting mice nests) but a modern aluminum frame would also work.
If you have one you would consider donating, please contact chief11@telus.net. Thanks!

Sunday, August 18, 2019 at 10:21AM We have a couple of young German travellers staying with us who would like to get to Comox by Sunday evening.
If anyone is driving up Island Sunday and is willing to take them even partway can you give us a call.
Thanks!

Saturday, August 17, 2019 at 10:07AM Forbes Hall Expansion & Upgrade Project
You are invited to our “On the Court” Information session - Saturday, August 17th.
The Directors of the Thetis Island Community Association and the Members of the Forbes Hall Expansion Committee invite you to this Saturday’s “On the Court” Information session. We look forward to having the opportunity to meet with you, and bring you up to date on the project, and funding. It has been quite an undertaking from the first donation to this project in October 2016, to now, with footings in place, and the original building with its renovations well underway.
We want the community to know what is happening behind the gates & fencing; our “On the Court” sessions create a gathering where we are able share with you all we know about the project, and in turn, you will be able to share your new knowledge within the broader community. We are ready to answer your questions, and listen to your comments.
Our objective is to inform, answer, and inspire.
Saturday, August 17th from 5:00 - 6:30 at the Tennis Court (access via the Pathway on Mission Road - no access through the building zone) - Beverages & Snacks Provided.
If you are unable to attend this session, we are available to meet with you individually if it is more amenable to you. Just let me know by emailing dickie.ann@gmail.com
Looking forward to seeing you on Saturday,
Sincerely
Ann Dickie
on behalf of the Thetis Island Community Association & the Forbes Hall Expansion & Upgrade Committee
