Wreathmaking

 Message from Harmony

Holiday Wreathmaking yesterday was a success. Some amazing and individual pieces were made, including a swag, and a hanging piece using a potato! :) as always, it was a lovely and festive time. Thank you to all who participated, and an extra big thanks to June for being our host and resident expert, and to Ronald and Ronnie for putting in the hard work of gathering the all the beautiful variety of boughs. We couldn’t have this event without you. Happy Holidays to everyone, from the Tahsis Literacy Society.

Hamper registration

 Nourish Nootka Sound Neighborhood Necessities Society 

Just a quick reminder that NNS NNS is working hard to get Christmas Hampers ready to go for everyone.

Deadlines are stressful for everyone, but please make sure to have your registration forms in by 5pm on December 17, and if there is any way to get them in sooner it would be greatly appreciated.

As we're sure everyone knows logistics of getting groceries on a large scale is a major undertaking. The more time we have to prepare the better we can make sure this is the best it can possibly be for everyone

Registration Forms are available at the Village Office and the Recreation Center, You can fill out the Form below and Drop it off at either location, or email COMPLETED forms to infonnsnns@gmail.com and if you struggle with Mobility or have an issue filling out the form please reach out to Allison Stiglitz and she can make arrangements to help.

This is such an amazing effort from everyone involved, we do want to make sure to Thank Superstore Campbell River, BCEHS, Tahsis Volunteer Fire Fighters Association, Tahsis Seniors Center, Gion Fravi from Greenspace , and Moutcha Bay Resort.

As well as all of the Individuals who have donated, and we just don't post their names without permission. It's starting to get hectic this close to the holidays, and we will have a much bigger Thank you post once everyone has been delivered to and we have settled down for our long winter break.

Choir?

 

A woman new to town said she missed being in a choir and asked me to start one. I’ve thought it over and will lead one if 

I get 12 committed members 
Each pays $10 so we don’t have to use pirated music.
I find a good piano player. (Jodie Gallant, you’re my first choice.)

To begin with, we’d commit to just 8 weeks of rehearsals starting in mid February with no public performance at the end. 

If you are interested, email me olson.stephanie2009@gmail.com.

Tahsis Christmas hampers

 

NNS NNS is working hard to prepare Christmas Hampers for 2026, please share this post with every Tahsis Resident In Need to ensure we don't miss a single household.

For any information reach out at infonnsnns@gmail.com

To donate we thank you in advance for you generosity, and you can send e transfers to donationnnsnns@gmail.com

We should have donation boxes around town soon for non perishables, and cash can be left in a sealed envelope where registration forms can be picked up.

We are a non profit, but not a registered charity (yet?) so we can not provide a tax receipt.

Registration forms are available at the Village Office, as well as the Recreation Centre, or by emailing infonnsnns@gmail.com , please fill them out completely, noting any allergies, dietary restrictions, or any other important information and sign them, and return them in the envelopes provided by December 17.

Hampers will be delivered on December 21, we ask that you make sure you are available to receive them at your home, or make arrangements for another adult to attend. If it is not possible for you to receive your hamper on December 21, please email infonnsnns@gmail.com so we can make other arrangements, but obviously with food being perishable, and everyone's cold storage space being limited we hope you understand the importance of the date.

One hamper per household and Tahsis residents only.

We are not asking anyone to prove need, purely that you measure your own need. It is sad that these programs have failed over the years, especially in small communities and we hope to continue this as long as we can, because we know as well as anyone that every year just feeding our families has gotten harder. Every hamper will get filled. But how much fills each one is dependant on how many registrations we receive

We started this program last year, and the phrase "it takes a village" is true. It is a huge undertaking and last year was brought to everyone's homes by the heartwarming and generous donations of our neighbors and friends. This year we started our fund raising with a food drive in Campbell River, and are well on track to meet our goals.

We want to thank BCEHS and Superstore Campbell River for faciliting that, and the amazing shoppers who filled the ambulance and made for a slow and heavy trip home. We are receiving local donations as well, as well as from the contractors and businesses who work within the village. As with last year, we will have some people to thank who don't live here, but remembered all of us during the holiday season.

Our goal is to reach further next year. We are not the only village struggling. Christmas is a time for happiness, and family, and we hope this small gesture helps take the load off to those in need.

We will also say that we have been in discussions with Santa this year again, and he is not going to miss a single child in the village. If your child attends school, we will have them on Santas list very soon, and if they do not please email us so we can make sure to pass it along.

Merry Christmas to all of Tahsis, and a happy new Year.

Tech help Saturday

 I asked Matthew, the VIRL Tech Help guy exactly what he covered. His answer was “ Usually I will try to address any tech issue that folks are having, with the caveat that while I'm an expert on our library tech I am not an expert on the wider tech issues that folks might be having.”

So if you have a question for him, call 250-934-6621 when the library is open (2:30-7:00 Wednesday and Thursday, 10:00-2:30 Friday and Saturday) to book an appointment.

Line Dancing is Coming to Tahsis! 

Saddle up, Tahsis — we’ve got something fun kicking off at the Rec Centre!

Starting Saturday, November 22 at 5:30 PM, we’ll be hosting line dancing lessons every Saturday and Tuesday at the same time. Whether you’ve got two left feet or you’ve been boot-scootin’ since the ’90s, everyone is welcome!

The lessons are led by our very own Belarusian cowgirl, Irina. She’s the first to admit she’s not a pro yet — but that’s the best part! We’re all learning together, laughing together, and dancing our way into something new for our little town.

Bring your friends, bring your boots, bring your cowboy hat if you’ve got one — or just bring yourself.

Let’s turn around, go to town, and have some fun with the Boot-Scoot & Boogie!

See you on the dance floor, Tahsis!
