Edith Hyatt

Sadly, Edith Hyatt passed away suddenly and unexpectedly June 15th, Monday morning, in the Cowichan District Hospital.  She had been briefly hospitalized for a heart issue, and was scheduled to be discharged Monday afternoon.  She was very much looking forward to returning home. 

Edith and Ron have lived on Thetis for over 30 years and she was just 50 days shy of her 97th birthday.  Cards of condolences may be sent to Ron Hyatt, Box 11-10.  He cannot hear the telephone.

St. Margaret's Cemetery Stewardship Volunteers

St. Margaret’s Cemetery is looking to create a volunteer stewardship program for the maintenance of the new cemetery area. As many of you may be aware a small parcel of land adjacent to St. Margarets Cemetery was donated by Capernwray a number of years ago. A plan has been in development to create a green cemetery in this area. This plan combined with  environmental stresses  such as the die off of cedars and balsam fir and the collapse of the bank have precipitated our taking some actions. The consequences of those actions have created other problems primarily invasive blackberries in the new area.

We are looking to establish a group of volunteers who would each be responsible for a quadrant of the new area their job to be removing by hand blackberry plants. It is the cemetery's policy not to use chemicals. Goats would destroy not only the blackberries but all the native plants trying to establish themselves.  The volunteer would be asked to commit to maintaining their section by removing the blackberries  over the next few years. You would work at your time and speed.

If you would like to participate in this opportunity to create and maintain a beautiful natural environment

Congratulations to the Dickie-Brand Family

Beautiful baby girl, Cressida Jane Brand, born to Stephanie & Megan, Saturday, June 13th

Grandparents Ann & Bill Dickie are extremely happy!

Yoga Update for June 15th:

The forecast is calling for rain tomorrow so unfortunately, I am going to cancel the 6pm class tonight. Even if the rain clears up, I think the lawn will be too soggy for stretching. The forecast looks better for next week--fingers crossed!

I hope to see you all in a week!

Wanting to Rent

My family is seeking a waterfront cabin or home to rent for a period of two weeks between the middle of July and the middle of August for a vacation.

We have been staying at Overbury for the last 43 years, and are now in search of another option, at least for this year. We are very happy to rent a home, or exchange homes.

We live in Victoria. We are very mindful of the fact that this is a strange summer and that we need to ensure everyone’s safety in exploring holiday options.

We will only consider this trip if COVID-19 remains as well controlled on the island as it has been to date.

Thank you!

Nichole and Cary
