If there are any other Company Reps who would like to set up a table, contact one of the three above.

Community Paramedicine service will come to Tahsis by Christmas


Community
Paramedicine













BC Emergency Health Services is working closely
with the Ministry of Health, the province's health
authorities, the Ambulance Paramedics of BC
(CUPE 873), and others to successfully launch
British Columbia's first Community Paramedicine
Initiative.
In BC, community paramedicine is intended
primarily for  rural and remote communities that
are sometimes underserved and have aging
populations living with chronic and complex
diseases. The program objectives are to help
stabilize paramedic staffing in these communities,
and bridge health service delivery gaps identified
in collaboration with local health care teams.
While other provinces have introduced community
paramedicine in communities or health facilities,
BC is the first to do so on a province-wide basis.
Community paramedics have been recruited and
completed a specialized orientation program, and
are now providing services in Northern Health and
the prototype communities.
  
Please see the 
Community Paramedicine Provincial Rollout 
Schedule  for additional information.
For more information, email communityparamedicine@bcehs.ca.

RCMP Media Release

Nootka Sound RCMP

File 2017-661

Mischief and Theft of Tree


The Nootka Sound RCMP is currently investigating the mischief and theft of a large Douglas fir tree from the "farm" on the Head Bay Road. Sometime within the week of September 11th, 2017 a large Douglas fir tree had been cut down and removed from the Village of Tahsis property which borders the Leiner River.

This tree was cut down and removed from Village property without permission to do so and would have required multiple trips to do so. The Nootka Sound RCMP is requesting anyone who witnessed a vehicle in the area transporting logs or with information regarding this incident to contact them at 250-283-2227 or contact Crimestoppers at 1-877-222-TIPS (8477).

Nearing 100,000

                                    There are people who have good ideas and there are other people who make those ideas turn into complete projects. Karli Y. is a person who can do both. She had the idea for this blog nearly three years ago and sometime today, the number of readers will go over 100,000. Residents of Tahsis are grateful for her work as are those who come here occasionally but get to keep in touch with the day to day happenings. 

Thanks Karli.

Campfire prohibition rescinded in Coastal Fire Centre




PARKSVILLE - Effective at noon on Sept. 18, 2017, the BC Wildfire Service has rescinded the campfire prohibition that was in effect within the Coastal Fire Centre's jurisdiction. The use of tiki torches (and similar kinds of torches), outdoor stoves, gas stoves and other portable campfire equipment is also now permitted.
A map of the affected areas is available online at: http://ow.ly/cHwI30ffC5O

However, some activities are still prohibited within the Coastal Fire Centre's jurisdiction, including the use of:

* fireworks (including firecrackers)
* sky lanterns
* binary exploding targets
* burn barrels or burn cages of any size or description

The current prohibition on Category 2 and Category 3 open fires also remains in place throughout the Coast Fire Centre's jurisdiction, except for the Fog Zone on Vancouver Island.

Members of the public are reminded that local governments may have their own burning bylaws in place and campfires may still be prohibited within those areas. People should always check with local authorities before lighting any fire of any size.

Some parts of southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands have received very little rainfall in recent weeks. Campers and other outdoor recreationalists are reminded to take the following precautions when lighting a campfire:

* Select the campfire site carefully and remove all leaves, twigs and other flammable material from the area.
* Create a fire break by scraping away debris right down to the dirt all around the fire.
* Use a fire pit or put a ring of rocks around the campfire site that is at least three metres away from trees, shrubs, structures and other flammable materials.
* Campfires must not be bigger than a half-metre wide and a half-metre high.
* Never leave a campfire unattended.
* Keep at least eight litres of water or a shovel close by at all times to extinguish your campfire properly.
* Make sure that your campfire is completely extinguished before going to sleep. Ensure that the fire is completely extinguished and the ashes are cold to the touch before leaving the area for any length of time.

Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a 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.

The Coastal Fire Centre covers all of 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.

To report a wildfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone. For up-to-date information on current wildfire activity, burning restrictions, road closures and air quality advisories, call 1 888 3-FOREST or visit: www.bcwildfire.ca

Ramsay's McKelvie Hike


Local Ramsay took a big hike up the McKelvie Creek and shares his photos with us all.


Click the link to his album to see his photos. (You night need to be on Facebook to see them.)
Ramsay Dyer added a post to the album: 170902-5 McKelvie.
At Tahsis we're lucky to have a relatively large pristine watershed right in our backyard. McKelvie Creek flows in a low-elevation flat valley bottom that has never been logged. Until very recently it was the water supply for the village. Unfortunately, WFP has indicated they intend to start logging the valley very soon.
Mount McKelvie sits at the headwaters, and it is the most prominent mountain visible from my office window. Over the (extended) labour day weekend I climbed the mountain, and explored the valley.
Besides some new flagging in the lower valley, and a few bits of old flagging further up, I found no evidence of human activity except in the alpine (where there is wreckage from some repeater station, probably similar to the one on Mt. Tahsis, and other debris). I came across large trees fairly often, but none that were particularly remarkable (an exception being a cedar log lying on the ground whose diameter seemed at least twice my height); large trees don't characterize this forest.
One interesting thing is that McKelvie Creek emerges from under a dry creekbed a few kilometres in. The creekbed was dry for the entire three or four kilometres of it that I explored beyond that point. Any tributary that made it to the creekbed would vanish within three or four metres. There is a lot of limestone around Tahsis, so we get karst and underground creeks (e.g., Ubedam and Upana), but I didn't notice any limestone in the McKelvie Valley. Mostly basalt I think. I know the Tahsis River is also dry upstream at this time of year, and I'd heard that this happened only after they logged it out in the early 20th century. Obviously, logging can't be blamed for the dry McKelvie creekbed.
There was lots of evidence of elk in the valley, but I didn't see any large wildlife.
I put captions in the photos where appropriate.
