On-Line Phone Book Info Form

This is just a heads-up that the on-line form for letting us know about changes to your phone book information, is not working. 

Fortunately we're a long way from working on a new book, so if you have any changes please just send them to me by email (veronicashelford@gmail.com), and they can go into the phone book updates in the Quarterly for now, and the database for the next book.   

I'll try to get the online form fixed in time for working on the next phone book.

Forbes Hall...one of the final events before the Hall renovation activities begin!

Members are encouraged to attend this meeting.

Forgot to enroll as a member this year? Forms are available in the Library or contact Don Sinclair (sinry@telus.net) or Dee Smith (donella123@aol.com); or look on line to print one off...or just send a cheque and a note to Box 14-0 - Thetis Island V0R 2Y0.

Fog Zone Fire Restriction

Due to the high risk for wildfire this season, the “Fog Zone” will no longer be excluded from Coastal Fire bans.  

Although this only impacts people from here travelling there to camp etc., it is still relevant to Thetis Islanders as an indication that this year will be worse than last year, and last year was bad.  

Just like Thetis, the communities in the Fog Zone will now be issuing local fire permits and banning fires when local conditions warrant.  Tofino, Ucluelet, Bamfield etc. are no longer immune from the higher risk of wildfires even in the fog zone. More information available if needed: info@thetisislandfire.ca
