Hi All

I am trying to arrange to get internet to our place at 179 Pilkey.  Any recommendations (ie. do others nearby on Pilkey Pt Rd have internet cabling directly to homes and from which provider)?

Many thanks in advance for responses.

2019 ThINC Memberships

The Thetis Island Nature Conservancy, firstly, gives a big thank you to all those who have already renewed their membership for this year!

Because of the dedication of our members, 2018 was a positive year for ThINC with the Fairyslipper Nature Reserve now a reality. Other projects included the restoration of the bank at St. Margaret’s Cemetery and a summer packed with activities at Nature House. We look forward to once again offering educational programming through the Nature House at the Portal this coming summer. 

For ThINC to continue to thrive, however, we need your support. The membership fee remains the same at $20. for an individual or a family. We are pleased to offer for all those who have not yet renewed and others who would like to sign up, the opportunity to join ThINC on two occasions. 

A board member will be available to assist you with printed membership forms at the Library in Forbes Hall on Sunday, February 10th, in the afternoon and also during “Soups On” on Wednesday, February 13th. 

We thank you for your ongoing support of nature conservation and education on Thetis Island and hope to see you there.

Weather Update for this Weekend

Please be prepared for possible power outages and continuing bitter cold. This is the latest update from Emergency Management BC.  Some trees damaged by the December storm may be vulnerable.  

TIVFD

Weather Event Details:

·       There is the potential for snowfall to be heavier than this past weekend.

·        A weather system is on its way from the northwest, beginning on Thursday and lasting until Saturday.

·       After a slight warming on Wednesday, Arctic air will re-intensify over the South Coast towards the end of the week and support snow down to sea-level. 

·     Flurries may begin as early as Thursday but dry lower levels of the atmosphere will keep accumulations light and snow flurries intermittent.

·       A low pressure system is expected to approach the South Coast on Friday delivering another round of low-elevation snow.

·       East Vancouver Island could see similar snow squall (ocean-effect) conditions as were experienced last Sunday. 

·       The cold air will persist through the weekend.  Any snow that does fall will remain for a few days.

·       Temperatures are expected to begin to moderate late next week but will remain below seasonal values likely through the 3rd week of February.

Taking Stuff without Permission is Called Stealing

Firewood logs STACKED NEATLY beside roads come from private property and are not free for the taking.

This is not the first time prepared firewood logs have been taken from my property and I'm getting pretty sick of it.
