Thursday, June 28, 2018 at 10:03AM In a split-second of inattention, I copied over the file for the homepage of thetisisland.net. I did have an earlier version saved to another disk, but I have been trying to update it from memory. If anyone or any committee on the island had a link up there, would you please check that it's still there, and if not, let me know? I'll get it back up immediately. Thanks!

Have you Seen our Pub Cat "Sweet Pea"?
Our Mama cat "Sweet Pea" has been away from the pub
for about a week now and we are hoping that someone has seen her out and about and can bring her home to us .
She is about two years old, and has long silvery grey hair with white accents; she loves attention.
Her two kittens miss her very much, as do we all here at the marina.
Thank you all for helping with our search!

Monday, June 25, 2018 at 12:10PM The July 1st Sail Past, initiated by Don and Gwen Hunter years ago, began as a parade on the water. Decorate your boats and cruise around Penelakut and Thetis.
This year we’re going to change things up a little. In memory of Gwen, lets return to how the Sail Past used to be… and give the fish a break from balloons lost at sea. Please NO BALLOONS in boats this year. We can have a balloon war at Don’s beach where debris can be picked up and disposed of responsibly. If you have a balloon launcher you’ve been looking forward to using, bring it to the beach and we can have a launcher competition!
1:30pm: Depart from Thetis Island Marina. Sail/cruise up the east side of Thetis, back down the west side. Reconvene at Don Hunter’s beach for dinner and music.
Bring whatever food you wish to eat. BBQ’s will be available to cook with. We will also have a propane campfire. No wood-burning campfire will be permitted. Donations toward propane costs would be appreciated.
Please respect Don’s property and those who are organizing the event by taking all garbage and recyclables home with you. Come enjoy a fun evening on the beach with live music and celebrate this great country we live in!
For more info please contact Tricia Hunter 246-8954 hunter_studio@hotmail.com

Monday, June 25, 2018 at 10:59AM Highlights of the ACThetis (Anchorage Concerns Thetis) meeting June 18, 2018, 7 pm, Forbes Hall.
Over past couple of months there has been increasing momentum between the various advocacy groups to establish an overarching alliance between the groups that will enhance/augment the direction, common voice, and strengthening of overall positioning.
ACT is developing petitions for our local MPs and MLAs to deliver to their respective chambers...Watch for it, discuss it with any ACThetis member (or email info@acthetis.com) and sign it to ensure our voices are heard.
ACT is pushing Islands Trust to find a way to use their existing Bylaws that prohibits commercial anchoring within 1000m of Thetis or Valdes Islands, as a tool to limit or stop anchorages in the Southern Gulf Islands.
ACT Information meeting at the Nature house July 25, 2018.
Please note that the next ACThetis meeting will be Aug 23th, 19:00h at Forbes Hall.
