Person with Stranded Boat Needs Help

Emergency Social Services is not responding to our calls.

Cash donations for this stranger stranded on our doorstep would be appreciated. Food that can be easily eaten without using a microwave, etc. and if you have extra dog food that would be a good thing for them both.

Please bring them to the Thetis Island Marina pub liquor store.

Italian Wedding Soup with Meatballs
Tomato Vegetable Soup veg /GF
Pizza Bread
Baked Goods

Suggested donation of $7 for soup, bread, treats and teas & coffee.

Soup’s On is entirely carried out by volunteers and, as one of the tasks is the program’s accounting, please do not pay with coins smaller than Loonies and Toonies. As all change must be counted and rolled.

For those who find large groups challenging, enjoy your lunch in this week’s designated quiet room, the Boardroom.

Everyone is welcome to join us, seniors, seniors who don’t think they’re seniors, workers, families, and everyone who just wants a mid-day meal!

Menu remainders for take-out when available. Soup’s On also supports the Thetis Island Food Pantry.

Happy Holidays to all!

The Soup’s On Team

Last Call for Harvest House Donations

Wednesday December 17th is the last morning the TIVFD is collecting your much appreciated donations for our local TI Food Pantry and Harvest House Food Bank in Chemainus.

Your donations help individuals and families on Thetis and Penelakut Islands, Crofton, Chemainus and Saltair. It will be a tight Christmas for many. Thank you all who have given generously. We will be collecting up until the end of Soups On and then Rodney will be taking everything over to Harvest House for sorting. The Food Bank boxes are at the front door of the Fire Hall on Mission Road.

The members of the Thetis Island Volunteer Fire Department thank you for supporting our residents and neighbours this holiday season.

Does Anyone have a Place for a Person with a Dog just for the Night?

He is the individual whose boat got stranded on the rocks at Penelakut. I have called emergency services three times, and I’ve not heard back from them. 

Please call Jesse at the island Marina pub
He has a four-year-old dog.

Pick Up Needed from Apple Press in Duncan

I need someone to pick up the Winter Quarterly from Apple Press in Duncan.

I've been hit with the flu and am unable to do this. Due to some technical issues this Q is already late, my apologies.

If anyone is going to Duncan in the next couple of days Apple Press is on the highway, on the left going south, is just before Coronation Ave and between the new Donair Dude and the Duncan Butchers shop.

Please let me know if you are able to do this,
thanks,

THETIS ECO SHARE SHOP COMING SOON

We are pleased to announce the creation of the Thetis Eco Share Shop coming soon.

What is the purpose of the Share Shop you might ask?
Very simply to reuse, usable household goods and to keep them out of the landfill, as well as to share them with our community. We are avid recyclers and have seen a need for this on Thetis Island.

This share shop has been built by us, on a moveable trailer. We are grateful for the help of many local people’s building material donations and hours of free work.

Keep checking your e-Spokes for more updates.
