Food Bank Donations

Last day of collection for Harvest House Food Bank donations will be Wednesday, December 16th at the fire hall.  Thank you to those whom have already dropped off your cans, jars and boxes of grocery items.

We are looking for volunteers for this Thursday, December 3rd and then in two weeks, December17th, to drop off the donations in Chemainus at the back of the United Church (blue door, down the steps) between 11am and 1pm.  If you are going to town on either of those days and can take some filled grocery bags, please let me know and we can arrange for you to pick up the bags or we can deliver them to your vehicle in the ferry line-up.  

Thank you for your generosity this season.

Christmas Bazaar

We tried but Covid 19 has made having a Christmas Bazaar just too iffy. So we have decided to cancel The Christmas Bazaar. 

Some of the vendors are willing to sell so check out either espokes or facebook for information about who will be selling from their homes. 

Let's hope that Covid 19 ends soon. But until then be safe.

Vehicles in Fairview Road

Would drivers using the road please take care, last Saturday I went out and was nearly thrown off my scooter due to the gravel and soil being gouged up. Also, the turning space has been churned up the same and they had taken the corner coming down and left their marks where it had gone off the road nearly into the ditch.  

Tonight, a vehicle came down twice and parked across my driveway entrance on both occasions. 

Please drivers drive slowly so you don’t make a mess of the road.  

I do not drive a car or a truck, I have a mobility scooter  

Thank you,

Deck the Hall: Fa La La La La La La La La !

To bring some joy to all the TIVFD Volunteers, all those who head out on the Trails via the end of Mission Road, and to all of those who just want to see a bit of cheerful Holiday decorating, a small team is being assembled to decorate the Entry to the Fire Hall, with the TIID & TIVFD’s blessing ☺

We hope to find 5 households (due to COVID protocols this seems like the best way to accomplish this effort) who will be willing to take on one aspect of the plan.  There is lots of opportunity for creativity.  Some jobs are small, some take more hands… 

If your household would like to participate, please contact me, and we can sort out which part of the plan works best for you.  

The idea is to have the whole of this accomplished between December 1 & 12.

Dear Jingle Ball Angel

To the dear soul that hangs Christmas Balls at the end of driveways at the end of Pilkey Rd. 

In our home, you are called the Jingle Bell Angel. There has been much discussion with my daughter as to who you are and if you have wings. But the biggest question my daughter Athenia has for you is this...  "Why do you not hang your pretty balls at the end of our driveway?"  

Athenia has suggested that I email espokes and give you our address. Perhaps then you will be able to find us. We live at 186 Porlier Rd. She will be checking every day to see if her message has reached you...If on the off chance you know who the Jingle Ball angel is and they don't have email...please let them know about Athenia's message. 

Thank-you
