Free pickleball lessons for adults

How many times have you heard that pickleball is the fastest growing sport in North America? A grant from Neighbourhood Small Grants/Campbell River Community Foundation has enabled the current Tahsis players to buy another net and a set of four paddles and they are inviting all adults to come give it a try for free. The session is purposely in the evening so those who can't usually make the afternoon time are able to attend.

House fire in Tahsis

 

A house on North Maquinna Drive in Tahsis was damaged by fire on Monday, May 20, 2024.

Tahsis Fire and Rescue was called to a house fire Monday that did extensive damage to a home.

The call came in just after 1 a.m. that a house on North Maquinna Drive in Tahsis was on fire.No one was home at the time, according to crews.

Fire Chief Kyle Wilkinson says in a statement that when firefighters arrived, the house was heavily involved in flames, leaving them with only an exterior attack.

They managed to keep the fire from spreading to other neighbouring homes.

The Office of the Fire Commissioner is leading the investigation, and no cause has been determined.

Egg hut at Tahsis Farm

 There is a new self-serve egg hut at the farm. 

For anyone who doesn't know where the farm is - Drive down South Maquinna past the post office, boat launch, Coal Creek Roasters, and the Maquinna hotel. Head out of town on a very rocky road. Halfway there (about a km) you’ll see a red arrow saying EGGS and a cartoon chicken. Keep going until you come to a black gate. There it is on the left. Eggs are $7 a dozen. Put money in locked box. Take eggs from fridge.

For Immediate Release May 13, 2024

Coastal Fire Centre to enact a Category 2 and Category 3 open fire prohibition   PARKSVILLE – Effective at noon Pacific Daylight Time on Friday, May 17, 2024, most open burning activities will be prohibited throughout the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdiction. This prohibition is being enacted to help reduce wildfire risk and protect public safety.   Category 2 and Category 3 open fires will be prohibited throughout the Coastal Fire Centre's jurisdiction. This prohibition will be in place until October 31, 2024, or until the order is rescinded.   A map of the affected areas is available online: https://ow.ly/xuTc50REHCJ This prohibition applies to all public and private land, unless specified otherwise (e.g., in a local government bylaw). Residents are asked to check with local government authorities for any other restrictions before lighting any fire.   Specifically, this prohibition refers to the following activities:   "category 2 open fire" which means an open fire, other than a category 1 campfire, that burns material in one pile not exceeding 2 m in height and 3 m in width, burns material concurrently in 2 piles each not exceeding 2 m in height and 3 m in width, or burns stubble or grass over an area that does not exceed 0.2 ha.   "category 3 open fire" which means an open fire that burns material concurrently in 3 or more piles each not exceeding 2 m in height and 3 m in width, material in one or more piles each exceeding 2 m in height or 3 m in width, one or more windrows, each not exceeding 200 m in length or 15 m in width, stubble or grass over an area exceeding 0.2 ha.   Also prohibited are the activities listed below (Wildfire Act, Section 12): Fireworks; Sky Lanterns; Binary Exploding Targets; Burn Barrels or Burn Cages of any size or description; and, Air Curtain Burners.   This prohibition does not apply to Category 1 - Campfires that are a half-metre high by a half-metre wide or smaller, or to cooking stoves that use gas, propane, or briquettes.   Anyone lighting a campfire must maintain a fireguard by removing flammable debris from around the campfire area and have a hand tool or at least eight litres of water available nearby to properly extinguish the fire.   The Coastal Fire Centre covers all the area west of the height of land on the Coast Mountain Range from the U.S.-Canada border at Manning Park, including Tweedsmuir South Provincial Park in the north, the Sunshine Coast, the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands and Haida Gwaii.   Anyone found in contravention of an open fire prohibition may be issued a violation ticket for $1,150, required to pay an administrative penalty of up to $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.   To report a wildfire, unattended campfire, or open fire violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cell phone.
