Electronic Services:
wireless connection for email, fax, and payphones
- We want to be able to provide access to email for our marina guests without fees or subscriptions. As a free service, we have established a local area network covering the area of the pub, for our guests who have their own wireless notebook computer. Just bring it to the pub, and ask any of the staff.
We are not an internet café, and this is NOT a web-browsing service. We have a limited bandwidth, so downloading large files, photos, large attachments, internet browsing or other high-bandwidth uses causes the system to crash, whereupon everyone, including us, loses the use of it. If the system goes down, it shuts down our marina business email, so the LAN will be disconnected to get us back on line and allow us to conduct business. If everyone is responsible, the service will be there at no cost.
- Please limit your use to email. If you wish to access the internet, it can be done at several facilities in Chemainus, including the Booknook coffee shop one block up from the ferry dock. Have a nice outing to Chemainus, and combine it with your internet use.
Office Services
- Should you be in need of emergency office facilities, such as sending or receiving a fax, or copying an important document, we can provide this service to our guests on a per-page-cost basis. Please advise us ahead of time if you wish to have a fax routed through our fax machine. Ask one of the pub staff, or in the Post Office/store.
Telephones
- There is limited cellular telephone coverage in Telegraph Harbour. To help, we have installed a cellular phone signal booster, located just outside the liquor store and pub doors on the porch. It will provide a stronger signal for certain cellular providers while you are within about 10 feet of the booster. If you still have trouble with the signal strength of your particular cell-phone provider, it may be more reliable to use a payphone.
- There are two payphones at the marina: one on the fuel dock, and another right outside the Post Office. Both phones take most credit cards and phone cards. If you need assistance in trying to contact someone, please ask us for assistance or advice. If you need to purchase a phone card, ask in the store.
- We have telephone numbers for services such as seaplanes. If you don’t see it displayed somewhere, ask in the pub. To contact people locally, there is a small Thetis Island telephone directory available through the store. The directory also includes a map of Thetis Island, a list of all lots and the names of the owners, along with business listings.
