Please Respect Lawrence Valley Trail / Loop Opening Times
Thursday, May 10, 2018 at 9:03AM Wednesday night a very happy, loud group walked the trail after 8PM, which resulted in our dogs thinking and letting us know that something was amiss, the whole time the trail was being walked.
Please remember that the Trail is open from 8AM until closure at 8PM or Dusk, whichever’s earlier.
We love that people are enjoying the access to this part of Thetis, but need the planned quiet times for the property owners & neighbours respected.
Thanks

Important Drone Use Information
Tuesday, May 8, 2018 at 8:50PM With summer approaching it’s a good time to remind local drone owners and users that while they enjoy using drones for fun, real estate, weddings and such, to please respect individual privacy and personal space while keeping clear of the many local seaplane flights during daylight hours and, of course, adhering to Transport Canada regulations:

No drone zones
From Transport Canada
https://www.canada.ca/en/transport-canada.html
“No drone zones” are areas where it may be unsafe or illegal to fly your drone.
When you fly a drone for any reason you should generally not fly: around airports and aerodromes, in busy, populated areas, in national parks, over border crossings
You can only fly your drone in these areas for specific purposes by getting permission from Transport Canada.
And there are: Proposed new rules:

Thank you,
