Warning... Kids Don't Hear Smoke Alarms

This video link is important to watch by parents, grandparents, and anyone who has a child sleeping over.  It will shock you.

We know you check your smoke alarms to make sure they work, but will the children hear them?

Join the Blue Dot Movement

It is not too late to let Peter and Ken know that you would like them to support the Blue Dot Declaration at The Trust Council this Wednesday!

Take action now to join the rising tide of people across the country who want our right to a healthy environment legally recognized at all levels of government and ultimately enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. (See attached backgrounder).

This right includes:

breathing clean air, drinking clean water, consuming safe food

accessing nature

knowing about pollutants released into the local environment, and

participating in government decisions that will affect the environment.

History shows that the greatest changes start with simple acts of local leadership.

A delegation from across the Islands Trust Area is submitting a proposal at the Islands Trust Council meeting on Gabriola on March 11, 2015 asking Trust Council to:

1.   Declare that every resident in the Trust Area has the right to live in a healthy environment;

2.   Call on the Province of British Columbia to enact a provincial environmental bill of rights to fulfill the right of every resident to live in a healthy environment; and

3.   Direct staff to review the implications of integrating the right to a healthy environment into the 2015-2018 Strategic Plan 

What can you do?

1.    Join the campaign at www.bluedot.ca/join-us/

2.    Ask your Islands Trust Local Trustees to support a proposed declaration at the next Trust Council meeting March 11, 2015.

Looking for Part-time Work

My name is Ori. I'm new to Thetis, volunteering on Jollity Farm, learning all about sustainable farming. I am in need of a vehicle, so i'm looking to make a bit of money to put towards a used car. I am eager to help out with any gardening, weeding, mowing, house cleaning, painting, firewood, child care, cooking or any other odd jobs around the house. I'm honest, reliable, hard-working, great with kids and have a variety of other skills to offer, such as graphic design if needed. I'm usually available after 3pm on weekdays and any time on weekends. I would be happy to provide references upon request.

Please contact me at: ohaimovici@gmail.com
Thanks,
Ori
