One – 18” wide x 18” deep x 26” tall with two drawers.

Do You have a Story about Old Telephones?

Looking for any “Thetistorians” (Thetis Island historians) interested in helping to contribute to the second archival display at Forbes Hall - Thetis Telephony

TICA Archives is eager to share items in the collection, but if you also have any historical documents or photos, antique or vintage telephone equipment we can borrow, fond memories or island telephone challenges to share, we would certainly appreciate any insights you can give.

The archival displays will be secured in a beautiful locked glass cabinet and borrowed items will be returned to you when the display theme is changed for the next project.

Thank you very much,
Nan Beals and Carol Stoker

Fir Logs Available

We have more than fifteen ~16’ lengths of straight fir that were felled last year and are now on the ground on our property. Diameters range from 12" to 24".

The wood is not at roadside (about 100' from driveways), but the logs would be accessible with suitable mobile equipment. Some can be bucked into firewood, if no other use can be found. Removal would need to done in such a way that footprint damage to the trails and property is minimized.

Looking for proposals to buy/trade, remove and/or process the wood.

Please contact Terry at 204-620-7557 to view, or to discuss.
