The PAG Has Been Breached!

Work Party Sat, Oct 10

The PAG could use some help! Due to yesterday's windy weather, a large arbutus came down across the front of the garden, flattening part of the fence, a few beds and the raspberry trellis. The timing is especially rude, as we were just getting ready to tuck the garden in for the winter. The arbutus clearly had other plans.

We're gathering a work party to clear the debris so we can see what needs repairing.

When: Saturday, October 10, 10:30 am to 12:30 pm
Where: The PAG (62 North Cove Road)
Bring: Work gloves, and any loppers, hand saws, wheelbarrows or tarps you can spare.

Many hands make light work, and the plants should bounce back nicely once the mess is cleared. Hope to see you there!

Jesse McClinton will be on Thetis for Islands Trust All Candidates Meeting

Growing up on Thetis taught me a lot about community, the importance of showing up for your neighbours, and what can happen when people work together.

I've shared a little of that journey, the work we've accomplished, and what still lies ahead in my latest blog.

https://jessemcclinton.com/from-the-ferry-dock-to-the-boardroom/

I'll be back on Thetis tomorrow, **October 10**, for the Islands Trust All Candidates Meeting.

If you're there, please come say hello. I'd love to catch up with some familiar faces and meet a few new ones!

Thanks,

Jesse McClinton, MSc.    Director | CVRD Area G

Update: Live Wires, Power Outage and Blocked Roads (3 Downed Lines)

There are three lines down on Thetis Island. 

One BC Hydro crew is on island; more crew are on the way to Thetis.

Pilkey Pt Rd is blocked by a VERY large tree & downed lines north of Klahowya.

IT IS DANGEROUS to attempt travel, even by foot or bike, on this route until BC Hydro gives the OK.

Attempts to traverse this area will slow BC Hydro's efforts to clear the tree and restore power.

PLEASE RESPECT BC Hydro's work, and STAY CLEAR from all downed lines. 

Sports Equipment for Public Use now at Forbes Hall Sports Court

The Thetis Island Community Association is pleased to announce that there is now sports equipment available to the public for casual play.

There is an unlocked deck box by the sport court holding several items of equipment, in good working order. Borrow what you need to play on the court and simply return it to the box when you’re done.

Have fun and play!

Forbes Hall: Solar Panels Update

The solar panels have been generating data for Forbes Hall since late last year.  The data that has been collected to August 31, 2026 regarding the power generation is very encouraging.

Please view the full report here.

Once again, the TICA Board would like to acknowledge the Thetis Islanders whose donations made this lasting climate resilience initiative and perpetual community savings opportunity possible!
