Yoga Classes - Waitlist and Second Class

Yoga starts Monday, September 16.

The 5:45 pm class is full and there is a waitlist.

I am contemplating running 2 classes on Mondays, with an earlier class from 4:30 to 5:30 pm class so as to accommodate those on the wait list. 

If this would be of interest to you please email me and state which class time you would prefer to attend so that I can assess whether or not to hold the extra class. 

Hoping this makes sense :)

Quick Reminder about EXTREME

We are still in EXTREME Fire Hazard here, as are the Salt Spring, Cedar, and North Cowichan reporting stations.  The fire weather forecast is for rain Sunday night or Monday and if that rain actually hits the ground here for three days we will drop to HIGH Hazard and early shift activities can start again.  We will post here on on the TIVFD website when HIGH RISK ACTIVITIES can begin again. 

 In the meantime, September is traditionally a bad month for fires because people enjoy the cooler evenings, the dew in the mornings, and even the morning fog and become complacent with fire.  But the woods are now at their driest and ponds and wells are low.  We all appreciate your vigilance and patience.  Soon enough we will be in Moderate and then Low and then snow!

Thanks!

From Emily at Fern & Fallow...

Thank you to everyone who came up for a breakfast or lunch at the Jollity Farm market in the last six weeks. We're all done with fresh-made meals for now but plans are in the works for more great food and extra special community focused events coming up. 

If you are interested in getting in touch with me directly, please find me at mlmcvr9@gmail.com 

I'm happy to discuss any feedback, future requests or catering needs.

Something New & Appreciated

Recently retired to Thetis Island?  

The Thetis Island Volunteer Fire Department is looking for women and men who can commit to important and needed volunteering for the community by training to be a fire fighter.  Due to our islanders’ great vigilance and fire safety education, Thetis Island enjoys a very low structural and bush fire response.  

However, we train diligently for safety and ready response. We also operate a well-trained and professional pre-hospital First Responder medical program to assist residents and visitors safely to the next level of care.   The community, through taxation, supports the fire department infrastructure, operations and training to Provincial and National standards.  

We ask that you consider giving the community two or three years of service by joining the TIVFD and in return you will gain valuable skills and make lasting friendships. No experience is necessary.  The department supplies the equipment and trains once a week for two hours.  You need not be a super athlete but reasonably fit and your life experience in other fields and careers would enhance our skills base.  

We are starting a new recruit training class soon, and welcome your interest in membership. You may have never thought of becoming a fire fighter before, but all of our present members hadn’t either until they came out and discovered they could make a difference in others’ lives when they were having a bad day.  

We will be holding a Question & Answer gathering on fire department membership at the Firehall on Mission Road on Thursday, September 19th, at 7pm.  Please consider attending.

The next BP Clinic will be Sept. 18th at the community Solid Waste Site from 09:30 to 11:30.rain or shine, under the canopy.
