The Shake Out BC Earthquake Drill on Thursday morning at 10:17 was a success.
After checking that their own families were safe, the available firefighters and water auxiliary team members responded to both of the firehalls and got the vehicles out and away from possible collapsing structures. Engine 1 and the Rescue arrived at the school to check on the students and await possible dispatched calls for structure fires or debris entrapment.
The school students explained how they had to “drop, cover and hold on” until the shaking stopped and then left their building in an orderly manner and waited in their “meeting spot” away from the building and overhead power lines. They all knew about staying away from windows and getting under something solid when things start falling. They even knew about why everyone should have shoes or slippers right beside their beds at home (getting out with glass on the floor) and where to meet up with families.
Thank you Auxiliary Water Transport Team members and Volunteer Fire Fighters and Ginny and Simone and all the Thetis Island School students for thinking about and practising what to do when the Big One finally happens. Being prepared is being smart.

Friday, October 18, 2019 at 11:31AM Well I had an outstanding year on Maternity Leave. Becoming a parent is one of the most fascinating gifts to life there is. What a journey it was nurturing my baby Lucien to 1 years old!
This past year I was beyond excited to come back to the MV Kuper, as it is the most memorable job I’ve ever had! I was very fortunate to be surrounded by so many great people!
Due to Various circumstances; I’m truly sad to say I won’t be able to return.. It was a pleasure serving all the wonderful passengers; of the MV Kuper. Thank you! I shall remember the past 4 years with bliss, and look back with pride; at the great opportunity bestowed upon me.
My POA has been transferred to Nanaimo, perhaps I’ll occasionally see a few familiar faces there.
Take care,
Shyann Jack

Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 9:07PM As you are aware recent vandalism at the Forbes Hall construction site resulted in damage and destruction to the Construction Supervisor Ron’s trailer and contents.
After a call out, Thetis island residents stepped up to help out with clean-up offers, items, and dollars to restock and replace. Ron is very happy, and passes along his thanks to everyone.
On behalf of TICA and the hall expansion committee a sincere thank you to all Thetis Islanders who offered and provided assistance.

Tuesday, October 15, 2019 at 9:05PM Wondering if there is anyone on Thetis who is able to do RV repairs involving propane?
Or is there anyone needing RV maintenance repairs that might be interested in sharing travel costs for mobile servicing?
