Calling All Islanders!
We are looking for 10 members willing to share their river experiences, docks, dens or decks with the TIA family on August 8th, 2026 for a one day, 10am to 2pm event.
This is not a home and garden tour or fancy tea and scone event, think of it more as a “progressive dock party”. It is a chance to meet those islanders you’ve been politely waving to for the last 30 years. An opportunity to take a closer look at that boathouse you’ve always admired. Maybe a stroll through a riverfront garden, or a chance to safely navigate a new part of the river. Simply, it’s a fun chance to meet your island neighbours while supporting the TIA.
The DD&D Tour has remained a constant conversation piece among the TIA members since it was introduced in 2018.
From the surveys of previous DD&D Tours, we learned the following:
100% of the Island Patriots that shared their docks said they would do it again and recommend the opportunity to other members in the future.
100% of those who purchased a DD&D pass said they would join in the fun again.
So, do you have what it takes to be an Island Patriot?
Do you have river stories and don’t mind sharing?
Are you keeping a rich part of river history that deserves to be shared?
Do you enjoy spending time with old friends and meeting new friends?
Are you willing to be known as a safe harbor to your river neighbours?
If the answer is yes to any of the selection criteria, we ask you to join the Patriot family. It’s simple, fun and a great opportunity to support the fun raising efforts of the TIA.
If you are willing to be an Island Patriot, reach out to Dan McWilliam by email at: [email protected] or the TIA.
