Community Letters

It is a privilege to live on Thetis Island and to have become part of the caring community that is centred around our Forbes Hall Community Centre. It is there where attending meetings, joining special groups such as Scottish Country Dancing, “Soup’s On” and Ping Pong, that I have found and made lifelong friends who have literally become a surrogate family to me. 

The hall provides this community with a place to meet, celebrate special occasions, to get some exercise, or good books and DVDs from the library. It is a catalyst for the whole community to come together for whatever purpose with the feeling of being welcome and appreciated.

Nature House Wish List

Caitlyn and Ben, our summer Nature Educators, are busy setting up the Nature House for another fun and interesting summer of programming. They gave us their wish list today. Before we purchase a few of the items, we thought we'd reach out to the community in case someone has them stashed away and would be willing to donate them. 

Here's the list:

exterior door with jamb 34"x 80"

bristly welcome mat for cleaning shoes at the door

rubber mat for by the sink

dish drying rack

small aquarium (for an ant farm)

Call Ann at 250-246-8176 to arrange for pick-up. T

hanks in advance for helping us out!

For me its all about the library. When you enter the library you don't just find a great selection of books (for all ages) and DVDs (for all tastes). You find a place where people who love to read meet casually and talk about books. "What are you reading?"  "What do you recommend?"

So many times a book has been recommended to me and I think, nah, that doesn't interest me. But I've been persuaded to take it home and give it a try. I've stopped being surprised when a book I never thought I'd enjoy leaves me wondering, questioning and wanting more.

Our little library opens these doors and I just love it.

Celebration of Success ~ June 18th

We are having our Student Success afternoon to celebrate and acknowledge our wonderful Students of Thetis Island Elementary School.   

This event will be held at Pioneer Pacific Camp at 1:00 pm on Tuesday June 18th.  The students have made their own arcade games and they will be sharing them with the community.   

We are going to have donations for a "Fun Pass" so you can play all the games that you want!!! There are prizes as well for our highly skilled community members.   

We are also selling some jam, apple sauce, salsa, bread and butter pickles and relish that have all been made by our students.  The funds raised will be divided between the Food Bank in Duncan and the Thetis Island Elementary School for something special that the students would like to purchase. 

And of course, true to Thetis Island Tradition, there will be tea coffee, and goodies served.   

Please come and join us for a fun filled afternoon.
