St. Margaret's Cemetery Rain Garden Project Starts This Thursday

The long-awaited rain garden project at St. Margaret's Cemetery will begin this Thursday, October 29th, managed by Raincoast Earthworks. The project is expected to take a few weeks to complete.

Important Parking Notice:

Machinery on site: Trucks and large heavy machinery will be operating in the parking area.

Keep area clear: Please keep the parking lot entirely clear of vehicles starting Thursday and throughout the duration of the work.

Project Overview :

This project marks an important step in environmental stewardship and the expansion of natural burial areas. A 48m x 10m corridor along the northern border (shared with Capernwray Bible Centre) will be transformed using shallow depressions, rock, and native plants to naturally manage water runoff, reduce surface erosion, and remove invasive blackberries.

Dear clients of Thetis Island, 

Please be aware of the necessity to keep the status of your pet’s rabies vaccinations current. 

Recent findings of rabies in the bat population both in the Cowichan Valley and very recently highlighted in the Lower Mainland demand consideration.

Free: Beautiful Quince Ready to be Processed

We have three cartons worth of picked and sorted quince left after processing for our household.  They’re beautiful this year!

Quince are high pectin fruit and can be used with other fruit to help set jams and jellies. 

A few in your house will make it smell wonderful, but they’re best stored outside or refrigerated. 

By the carton only, take one or take them all, and you’ll need to bring boxes.
