Kathleen McIsaac

Our dear friend and fellow islander, Kathleen McIsaac, died early January 15 at Royal Jubilee Hospital in Victoria quietly ending a year+ long battle with cancer. The link included here will take you to her beautiful obituary. She is sorely missed by many of us already, but we shall meet again when we go to heaven ourselves.

Community Meeting re: Re-zoning Application

Hi All,

My Name is Oreste Panacui and I represent Abrupt Shellfish Inc., a locally owned shellfish company that operates an Aquaculture Lease near Scott Island for the last 10 years or so.

We are currently in the process of expanding our operations and are needing to apply for re-zoning of the proposed expansion site.

We will be hosting a meeting at the Thetis Island Marina Pub on Thursday, Feb 6th at 6-8pm to offer information about our plans for operation, maintenance and environmental practices on our Sub-Tidal Geoduck lease to any interested members of the Thetis Island community.

Looking forward to seeing you there and answering any questions.

Sincerely, 

Oreste Panacui 

Abrupt Shellfish Inc.

Telus Scam

Attention: Received an email from Telus telling me that my payment did not go through. They wanted me to send all my information including my Visa card number. Just talked to Telus and this is a scam.

The emails look just like what Telus would use.

Do not send any information until you have talked to Telus via phone. 1-888-811-2323.

Missing Canoe

Our green Grumman canoe went missing between January 12th and January 24th. If anyone has information on where it might be, kindly text or call Jenn at 604-833-0775. It is an old canoe, but has great practical and sentimental value!

Thank you for your help!

Warmly,

Service Auction

Can you offer a service to our charity? SOAS ( School Orchards Africa) is holding a service auction at its February 15 event - HEART BEAT. 

SUGGESTIONS:baking, cleaning, yard work, splitting/stacking firewood, cleaning gutters, pruning, window washing, sewing, tractor work, a dinner. All services are welcomed.

Many neighbours would value a few hours of your time and SOAS is hoping to raise enough money for another water storage tank at an elementary school in rural Tanzania.

Canoe Stolen

A canoe was stolen from the bank above our beach sometime in the last month. There was no paddle with the canoe so the thief must have come by boat. Check your boats.
