Rest & Rehabilitation Team Members Required for the Thetis Island Fire Department Auxiliary

R&R members check for signs of heat-stress and fatigue of Firefighters in our designated Auxiliary Rest Area during an Emergency.   The full fire-fighting suit weighs 75 pounds!  We take blood pressure, pulse & temperature & give our Firefighters a place to recuperate before returning to the Emergency Scene. 

You do not require a First Aid or First Responder Certificate.

We are rarely called-out but indispensable when needed.

Please contact Merry Gooding for further information at: merrygooding@gmail.com

from the Library...

As you all know, the library will be closed for the duration of the renovation.  

I am inviting library patrons to bring a bag or box or two, fill them up, take them home and enjoy them at your leisure.  

Sign the cards as usual and I will take home the card box. Maybe make yourself a list of your materials as well in case you trade amongst yourselves.  

I will be in the library Saturday morning doing stuff.  I have boxes if you need one.

Celine, your local librarian, thinking about the big job ahead and all the help I will get.

Thank you for the Towels!

It is truly amazing to live in such a place, where you have a need, and the community so willingly provides. Time and time again! 

Thank you all for your ongoing support of our Thetis Island farms!

Volunteer Call Out ~ Moving & Packing

All Hands on Deck!

After a thoughtful, detailed meeting on Tuesday, April 16, 2019, TICA has signed a contract with J. Lealand Contracting Ltd. of Chemainus to build our Expanded & Upgraded Community Hall.  Angela Quek - Architect, as our CRP, will continue to oversee & manage the contract.

On May 2nd, J Lealand Contracting Ltd. will start mobilizing to the site, and is scheduled to break ground on May 15th. 

With our building permit & contract in hand, we are proceeding with the Packing & Moving of Forbes Hall.  

Forbes Hall’s Final Weekend (April 20...) includes another great Get to the Point, and a re-showing of the Thetis Island Memories slide show on Saturday Evening.  There will continue to be scheduled activities until Monday night.

TICA’s AGM will be held at Forbes Hall on Thursday, April 25th, amongst Packed Boxes and with Limited Services. 

Tuesday through Friday (April 23-25) are our sorting and packing days, while Saturday & Sunday (April 27-28) are our moving and hauling days, as we pack the on-site containers, where almost everything will be stored for the duration of the build. There was a meeting last Sunday, April 14th, determining how the sorting, packing, and moving could be accomplished, with fourteen involved community members attending.  

Sorting & Packing

Lead Volunteers are scheduled to supervise the packing.  We are looking for many volunteers to sort, organize & pack.

Exciting times, let’s do it together!

Boxes, We Need Boxes!

Please drop off any packing boxes you might have (or pick up for us when you’re across) to Forbes Hall Tuesday, April 23 through Friday, April 26 from 9:30 to Noon, or anytime the hall’s open before those days.

Liquor boxes are a great size, as when they’re full, they are still manageable weight-wise. Larger and smaller will be accepted! 

We are about to embark in the packing & moving of Forbes Hall, and Boxes, We Need Boxes!

Thanks for your help in advance,

Forbes Hall Expansion & Upgrade Committee
