Unauthorized Deer Fence Signs on Thetis

The TIRRA Executive was asked to look into the issue of these signs being posted in various locations and properties on Thetis Island.

I have contacted the owner of the (unnamed) deer fencing company and requested that he please remove his signs.

I also advised him that if he wants to place signs on various properties, be they private or public, he first needs permission to do so.

The owner of the company has assured he will be removing the signs. 

OBO, TIRRA Executive

High Hazard Rating

We have moved into the HIGH hazard category for wildfires.  Small, supervised campfires are still being allowed with permits but that may change at the beginning of the week as we head into a very hot and dry period.  Environment Canada has already issued a heat warning for the lower half of the Province. 

Please report any smoke columns to 911. Be aware that cigarette butts smolder and can ignite coarse woody debris hours after being tossed.

Thank you for your vigilance in keeping our island safe from wildfire.

If you are mowing or chain-sawing in the bush, try to get everything done before 11 in the morning when we have a bit higher humidity and lower temperatures.
