The Superior Propane Debacle of Mary Forbes

An article will be in the forth-coming Quarterly fully describing Mary's Dreadful Superior Adventure. As a result, she has contacted Columbia Fuels. They said they had just purchased a propane truck, so if we had twenty interested customers, they could service Thetis Island. Mary is exploring this.  If you are interested, please let her know.

Forbes Hall Expansion & Upgrade Bulletin - Nov 20

Thank you to all the TICA members, and other community members, who were willing and able to attend the Forbes Hall Expansion Public Meeting on Saturday, November 16th. 

It was great to meet with so many of you, and to hear your comments, thank-you’s, concerns, and questions. After our five information meetings in the summer with varying degrees of participation, we were pleasantly surprised to have over eighty people in the room.  Many of you came prepared with notes, and some of you filled out the post-it notes provided.  Several have sent very thoughtful e-mails, while others have directly called.  There is now a volume of information and questions for the Committee to work through, to determine the key questions, and core concerns. 

We will work over the next couple of weeks to answer your questions as best we can, and provide context to our answers.  We will not attempt to contact everyone who has communicated with us, but will instead send out bulletins regularly with information & answers included.  We are aware of the concerns addressed by the membership on Saturday and are working on solutions where we can.

One of the key things we as a group left with last Saturday was that everyone was respectful of other members of the audience and Committee & Board members.  There are many differing opinions about the hall and its rebuild.  We hope that by working together as we move through the project, that we will continue to build community. 

What a wonderful thing, to be able to live, work, & play in a community of people who may not agree on all things, but do join in to be the glue that holds us together.

Many thanks, again,

Ann Dickie

Bird Lovers

Hey bird lovers,

We have budgies that need rehoming. They are used to being in a large flock, so I will not give away any single budgies, unless you were to have budgies yourself. 

They are all beautiful singers and make the cutest quiet sounds at dusk.

Here is a list

2 white fathers

4 Green with yellow (3 are related, one is a mother)

2 solid Yellow

2 Yellow with green

1 Blue  

Here is my email rpsylvester22@gmail.com

Ryan Sylvester

P.s. they are very untamed as they are in a semi-naturalized flock-bonded mentality. They will not land on you on purpose.

Thetis Island Volunteer Firefighters Society

The Thetis Island Volunteer Firefighters Society is a CRA registered charity in support of the firefighters and eligible for certain firefighting related grants.  A grant is available to registered charities only to improve resiliency to climate change.   We are applying for $400,000 to purchase a 4x4 brush fire truck and a structural protection unit trailer.  The grant foundation requires applicants to submit an account statement prepared by an independent accountant.  As a new charity with very simple books and limited funds, we are hoping there is an accountant locally who would be willing to donate their time to provide this statement.

Interested?  Please contact Graeme Shelford 250-246-1509 or graemeshelford@gmail.com
