Soup’s On ~ Wednesday, February 25th

11:30 am until 1:00 pm
Gather at Forbes Hall for a very Thetis Island lunch...

Menu:
Chicken Noodle Soup
Potato Carrot Soup veg
Beer bread
Baked Goods
Teas and Coffee

Suggested donation of $7 for soup, bread, treats, and teas & coffee.

Soup’s On is entirely carried out by volunteers and, as one of the tasks is the program’s accounting, please do not pay with coins smaller than Loonies and Toonies (as all change must be counted and rolled).

For those who find large groups challenging, enjoy your lunch in this week’s designated quiet room, the Boardroom.

Everyone is welcome to join us, seniors, seniors who don’t think they’re seniors, workers, families, and everyone who just wants a mid-day meal!

Menu remainders for take-out when available. Soup’s On also supports the Thetis Island Food Pantry.

Coupon Booklets of 10 for your convenience, $70.00

Thetis Island Archives are about to See the Light of Day!

TICA is undertaking a clean-up and re-sort of all the items stored in the Forbes Hall basement. In the project’s early stages, Nan Beals offered to pitch in and help Teresa Moore go through the seven filing cabinets that were moved out of the old building into the shipping containers and then back into the new building when it was completed. Nothing had been sorted or gone through before going into storage when construction started in 2019.

Aside from a mountain of administrative documents, the two found a treasure trove of archives that had been collected and documented over the years by many different islanders. These were set aside and Nan agreed to take on the responsibility of cataloguing the archival material, storing it safely in the hall and creating a dynamic display board in the front corridor of the hall. Display boards have now been mounted in the corridor and are ready for the first installation of photos and documents. An illuminated display cabinet will be installed in the main entry this spring.

We are very excited to finally have room for the archives to be on display in the hall and to have Nan take the lead on this exciting, long overdue project!

If you have something you might like to add to the archives or share for display purposes, please contact Nan Beals at 4nanbeals@gmail.com (preferred) or 250-246-4944

Thetis Island Nurse Practitioner Clinic at Forbes Hall

This is a friendly reminder that there is an Island Health Nurse Practitioner (NP) that is allocated part time to Thetis Island for both longitudinal primary care and acute outreach services. You can come and see the NP even if you are attached to a different primary care provider or family doctor!

· The NP comes over to Thetis Island almost every Tuesday to provide primary care services.

· On Thursdays you can make a virtual care appointment or an appointment to see the NP in person in Ladysmith.

· There are often “same day” appointments available on Tuesdays and Thursdays if you phone first thing in the morning.

· You can request to be attached to the NP so that they are your regular primary care provider.

Phone 250-739-5700 ext. 54814 to make an appointment or if you have any questions.

Phones are open 9:00am – 4:30pm Mon – Thurs. The office is closed on Fridays.

*Please note that the NP does not provide emergency services. If you are having a medical emergency, please dial 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room.
