Couples only
Thetis Island is the most central and accessible Island in the the Gulf Islands which are located between Vancouver Island and mainland British Columbia. We have 5 acres of waterfront property with a large house and garden which requires constant attention.
We are looking for a couple to help us clear up debris, organize construction materials, maintain gardens, and cleaning. You must be comfortable working unsupervised, have the ability to see the work ahead and take initiative.
This is not a farm .
Allergy alert: We have a dog, a cat, and 3 bee hives
Accommodation is self contained private cabin with kitchen and bathroom
Thetis is a small Island of 450 people in the winter 1200 in the summer. If you enjoy solitude this is the place!
There is No down Town --- there is one convenience store, farm stand, pub and several walking trails.
Although it is quiet, the locals are very friendly and there is a pub.Arten von Hilfe und Lernmöglichkeiten

We live in the Coast Salish Peoples territory. Learn about first nations culture, organic gardening, bee keeping and building. We have some of the largest trees in Canada here and there are plenty of walking trails. Try kayaking or set up camp on a remote island ( we can take you there by boat in the summer. There is a lot of wildlife here; eagles, otters, whales, seals, but no bears or cougars - so you are safe to explore. It is a unique lifestyle here living in a ferry dependent community where everyone knows you by name.

The scenery is worth the trip. google up Thetis Island and check out our community blog for information about where we live.
