I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for Ice Cream!

Keep your eyes peeled for the little red Micra ice cream truck this Thursday around 2:30!

We will be travelling from Foster Point road down to the community centre and then down Pilkey Point road, around the marina loop and back to Foster Point, moving slow and playing some classic ice cream truck songs.

All treats are by donation which will be given to TICA.

Cash preferred but can also do e-transfer 

Supplies are limited but we have chocolate almond ice cream bars, freezies and frozen yogurt bars.

Looking forward to a little ice cream truck fun on a hot day

Thetis Island History Display Update

There is a new must-see artifact in Thetis History Telephone Display at Forbes Hall, courtesy of Tim French. It is one of the first cell phones from 1984, nicknamed The Brick, weighing in at one and a half pounds! If you haven’t seen the display yet, be sure to check out it out before it is gone as it contains some fascinating early history of telephones on Thetis Island. We thank all the generous Islanders who have kindly shared their stories and artifacts with the community by loaning them for the display these past couple of months.

The next Thetis History theme will revolve around Thetis Island Cooks and Cookbooks. If you have old cookbooks, ideas, information or stories to share, or old fashioned cookware you would be willing to loan for display, please contact Nan Beals 4nanbeals@gmail.com or Carol Stoker carol.stoker@icloud.com of TICA Archives.

Also, if you would like to join our “Thetistorian” team doing research we would appreciate any help you could give.

Thank you!

Tour des Îles Festival

Day Trips to Salt Spring & Galiano – Saturday, June 20!

Thetis Islanders are invited to hop aboard a special Tour des Îles passenger boat on Saturday, June 20 for a day of exploring Salt Spring Island or Galiano Island—without the hassle of ferries or traffic.

Departing from Sunrise Point, the passenger boat offers:

• Salt Spring Island (Fernwood Dock) – $25 each way, with buses connecting visitors to the famous Saturday Market, Indigenous Peoples Weekend celebrations, local galleries, beaches, and village attractions.
• Galiano Island (Montague Marina) – $40 each way to Montague Harbour, with free shuttles to the Galiano Museum, artisan studios, cafés, restaurants, hiking trails, and scenic beaches.

Tour des Îles is a two-day festival celebrating inter-island travel, culture, music, art, and community connections, making it easier than ever to visit our neighbouring islands by passenger boat.

Reserve your seat today by emailing tdifestival@gmail.com. A minimum of 10 passengers will be required to confirm the boat.

We'd love to welcome our Thetis neighbours for a day of markets, music, culture, and adventure in the Southern Gulf Islands. Bring a bicycle if you'd like to explore even more of the islands at your own pace!
