Report from ACThetis (Anchorage Concerns Thetis)

ACThetis (Anchorage Concerns Thetis) Aug 13, 2018 Meeting was held at the Forbes Hall, Thetis Island.

The highlights of this meeting are:

Interim Protocol – at approx. 1700h, two hours prior to the meeting, TC released a statement that they were extending the IP for another 12 months. This was done without consultation of any of the First Nation partners or SH that we are networked with/to; this does not bode well for the OPP public consultation (or lack thereof) process;

Petition signing has been approx. 130 signatures for Fed and provincial petitions. if you haven’t signed please contact the undersigned or any other ACT member you know (cut-off date Sept 15, 2018);

Local Media release pending, and ACT is searching for anyone with a link, referral or knowledge of a provincial or federal level media contact who would work with ACT to get these serious issues published at a larger scale;

Environmental Law (Cnd and/or Indigenous) - ACT is committed to doing more research and to working within their growing network (within and outside of their alliance) to find a way to hold our governments accountable.

Next Meeting: Oct 15, 2018

REALLY?????? Cigarette Butts??????

Cigarette butts have been found on the top of Burchell Hill, at the end of Pilkey Point, below Tom and Gloria’s house near their fire wood stacks, on my private driveway in the bush, in front of Nan’s “Nugget” at Pot of Gold, along Mission Road near the Community Centre driveways, and in the boat launch area, as well as the entrance to and on the community dock.  

It goes without saying that there are many butts again along the ferry line-up next to or in the dry grass.  

Surely this can’t all be from ignorant visitors who don’t know what a Provincial State of Emergency is!  

Please give a friendly word of encouragement to smokers to put their butts in their pockets.

Coffee and Art @ The Nugget

The Nugget will open as usual this Saturday, featuring Pot of Gold coffee and Anaïs' original art and cards.

However there unfortunately won't be any more baking this season, as I have to focus on other projects. It has been my pleasure baking for you all this summer, and I thank you for your enthusiastic support of this passion of mine.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow for some art and coffee!

Unofficial Well Survey

The Cowichan Valley is now at Drought Level 4, and that’s as high as it gets.

The Fire Dept. is interested in how many wells on Thetis are dry now, at low levels or underproducing, as this affects our operational thinking in case of a large scale fire.

Please email firechief@thetisislandfire.ca with your location and well production info.

We will post a general description next week that might be of interest for water conserving. 

Many thanks, TIVFD
