May 27 COVID-19 Vaccination Clinic at Forbes Hall

While one dose of the vaccine during viral respiratory illness season in the fall and winter offers strong protection for most people, an additional spring dose is strongly recommended for people who could get seriously sick, including:

• Adults 80 years and older

• Indigenous adults 70 years and older

• Residents of long-term care homes and assisted living facilities and those awaiting placement

• People 6 months and older who have been diagnosed as clinically extremely vulnerable (CEV 1 or CEV 2)

The following people may also benefit from a spring COVID-19 booster:

• Adults 65 years and older

• Indigenous adults 55 years and older

Individual invitations for vaccines are being sent out currently to those 65 years or older who are registered in the Get Vaccinated system.

**Fire Hazard Readings Now HIGH**

We have not had the moisture we were counting on to stay at MODERATE hazard, and the fire weather stations around us are all now reporting at HIGH hazard and Thetis Island has moved up to HIGH.

Therefore, on Thursday this week we will start restricting High Hazard Activities. Cease all High Hazard Activities before 1 p.m. and post a two-hour fire watch. Have water close by your work site.

Please report any daytime smoke columns to 911.

Evening campfires are still permitted at this time. Don’t have a campfire in windy conditions and make sure there are no embers left when you leave. The ashes must be cold and wet.

Time to Leave the Island

It is with mixed feelings that Gerd and I are moving off the Island.
We are going to Esquimalt to live in an apartment in the same building as Gerd’s son and daughter-in-law.

To say life has been wonderful living here is an understatement.

We will miss the kind people on Thetis and our lovely property.

Hiring

We live on Hudson Island. We’re looking for a person or a few individuals who might want to come over and help us with some yard work and clean up.

Nothing too complicated or too over strenuous.

Dates to be determined as our schedule is in flux at the moment but will be sometime in the next few weeks and into June.

A boat for transport to Hudson would be nice (I can pay for gas), but not mandatory.
I can come pick you up at the Pub or Guvie.

$25-$30/hr 

Thanks for considering,
Nick
