Pilkey Point Cont'd
Monday, August 20, 2018 at 6:58AM Further to the complaint about garbage at the end of Pilkey Point Road, it has been an exceptionally bad weekend for many people (approx 25 at the same time) encroaching on our property above the waterline, making a lot of noise for most of the day and then leaving garbage and cans hidden under rocks for us to pick up.
Last night around 11 pm teenagers were at the end of the road making a lot of noise who made inappropriate sexual comments when a flashlight was shone on them. They eventually left around 11.30 burning rubber and also leaving garbage, cigarette butts and more.
Could those who have guests during the summer, please educate them on the danger of fire, the fact we don't have garbage removal, and for them to give some respect for those who live here. We would not go into their front yards, make noise all day and then leave garbage behind.

Problems at Pilkey Point
Monday, August 20, 2018 at 6:57AM At noon today we visited the 'scene of the crime' referred to in an earlier email which apparently had been cleaned up yesterday.
To our horror we discovered even more litter that included empty cans of hard iced tea, cigarette butts, cigarette packages and two piles of excrement! This is not acceptable and it's repulsive!
Everyone should be concerned about the extreme conditions which could spawn fires from cigarettes, to say nothing about the garbage problem and the disgusting excrement.
As well, burning rubber and skid marks were left in several places along north Pilkey Point Road.
If you have guests or family members who may be responsible please make them aware that this sort of behaviour is not the spirit of Thetis Island

More Sadness ~ Pilkey Point this Morning

Just Plain Sad
Sunday, August 19, 2018 at 10:41AM Got home this evening and walked down to the end of Pilkey Point. Saddened to see a smashed booze bottle and garbage. Even sadder to realize that it had been there all day and nobody did anything. Went back to clean it up and, sure enough, more people swimming at the point and glass and garbage untouched. Just plain sad.

A Love Letter to the Residents of Thetis
Saturday, August 18, 2018 at 1:24PM A warm and resounding Thanks to all of the amazing individuals that welcomed me with open arms during my wwoofing stay on Thetis Island. The generosity of your community has been beautifully humbling and I'm ever so grateful. I'll carry this experience safely in my heart and will darken your doorways again someday soon.
It's been a pleasure. Sending good vibes to you all! I'll catch you on the flip side!
Ta ta!
