Thank You to TIPA

In return for me having the pleasure of coaching kids' soccer this season TIPA (Thetis Island Parents Association) very kindly gave me a voucher for Viv and me to enjoy a meal at a restaurant of choice - the merlot was great too!

Thank you so much. Here's to next season.

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.
