Found Floaty Mat

It was in the water between the Govy and Ferry dock. Multicoloured and new looking. Left it on the logs on the beach at the Capernwray side of the ferry terminal.

Data Transfer Help Needed

Does someone have the equipment to transfer data from a camera SD card to a thumb drive for me so I can access some old photos and video?

Grass Fed, Pasture Raised Lamb

Dear fellow neighbours and friends,

I thought I’d pass along this offer from a farm I sometimes work at in Chemainus. They raise beautiful grass-fed, pasture-raised lamb.

The meat is processed at Gunters, a government approved facility, then boxed, sealed, and frozen directly at the processor. We've been getting our lamb from this farmer for a few years now, and it's always been excellent.

I'm doing a run today and could bring a box or so to Thetis around 3 p.m. if anyone is interested. The cost is $12/lb hanging weight, and each box is approximately 25–40 lbs, depending on the animal. He only has a very limited amount available so if you are interested, sooner than later is best.

If you’re not ready today, feel free to email or text me and I can pass along the farmer’s contact info so you can make arrangements yourself.

Just wanted to share in case anyone’s looking to stock their freezer with some really high-quality local lamb.

Hello Thetis Islanders,

Just a friendly reminder that you’re warmly invited to join us for a special community screening of 'Snk̛míp Dig Deeper' on Sunday, June 22nd at 7 PM at Forbes Hall.

Hosted by the Thetis Island Nature Conservancy (ThINC) and Community Climate Resilience (CCR), this powerful feature-length documentary explores the restoration of a wetland that uncovered the site of an ancient Sinixt village - and the profound collaboration that followed between Indigenous and settler communities.

Co-directed by Autonomous Sinixt Matriarch Marilyn James and settler conservationist Lorna Visser, the film is a moving reflection on land stewardship, cultural resilience, and reconciliation.

Event Details:

We hope to see you there for this important community event and meaningful conversation.

HIGH DANGER CLASS Continues

We are still holding at HIGH FIRE DANGER CLASS and the outlook for this coming week does not look like we will get any moisture. This means that all gas powered equipment and metal bladed equipment used near woods, bush or grass must not be operated after 1 pm in the afternoon and a two hour fire watch posted.
For wildfire safety on our island, please comply with the regulations. We are already getting complaints that some people don’t know the rules.
Let’s get through this fire season unscathed.
