Thank you to TIVFD

Yesterday I required medical assistance. Our Volunteer fire department came through in a big way and I want to thank them very much. Shout out to Alex, Jeanine, Dave, Jacob, Peter, and Chad. They were here in minutes and had me on a boat to Chemainus quickly and safely with full medical monitoring. Also an extended thanks to all the members of the department for the work they do daily.

You folks are the best!

Hydro Rate Increase

BC Hydro has raised its Step 2 rates from 26% to 51% which will affect those who heat with electricity.  Apparently, Gulf Island residents should be exempted from this rate hike because we do not have access to natural gas.  The BC Utilities Commission will receive comments from Gulf Islanders about this rate hike and our inability to access natural gas to heat our homes, but the comments must be filed on the correct form, and NO LATER THAN AUGUST 15th.  Click here for comment form PDF.   Click here to download comment form in Word.

Summer Soiree ~ Tonight at 5:30

Tonight is the night 130 guests, friends, neighbors, and family all dine together at Forbes Hall to celebrate community. Ann Dickie and many helpers in the kitchen have been busy preparing our delicious summer dinner. Come ready with a sweater or shawl to ward off cooler temperatures, if necessary, the entire event will move indoors - don't forget there is both a silent and live auction and live music with our own Bob Pickell.

Looking to rent a pet friendly accomodation Message: My husband and I are looking to rent a pet friendly house or cabin for the week of August 25, 2017 to September 1, 2017 to attend a family wedding.
