Nature House - Today's Event (Thursday, August 20)

Here's what's on today!

2-3:30pm TIME Jr: Beach Seine (Youth 8-15)
Location: North Cove Beach. Please meet at the end of North Cove Road at 2PM.

For our very last TIME Jr. session, we're going out with a splash! Join us for a hands-on beach seine at North Cove - using a large net to encircle fish and other creatures living in shallow coastal waters, the same ecological survey method used by aquatic biologists in the field. Come get a close look at who's been living just off our shores all summer long.

Lost Buoys Seeking Owner

I have two large orange buoys which have washed up onto my beach over the last year or so.

One has the inscription KRP 313404 and the other one says PRNS 313404. If anyone knows who these belong to I'd be happy to return them because I imagine they have some value.

Cheers, Alan Cassels

Thetis Island Residents and Ratepayers Association (TIRRA) - Supports Motion M-35 – Federal Operational Support for BC Ferries

TIRRA has written to the federal government in support of Motion M-35, which calls for fair, stable and long-term federal support for BC Ferries.

For island communities such as Thetis Island, reliable and affordable ferry service is essential transportation. TIRRA's letter encourages the federal government to work with the Province of British Columbia to modernize the current funding arrangement for BC Ferries and recognize the important role ferry service plays in connecting coastal and island communities.

The letter is available at: https://www.thetisisland.net/tirra/communications/20260816_Thetis_Island_Residents_and_Ratepayers_Association_Letter_in_Support_of_Motion_M-35_and_background_information.pdf

Islanders and ferry users who would also like to show their support are encouraged to sign House of Commons Petition e-7474, before September 29, which calls on the federal government to modernize ferry funding and provide fair federal support for BC Ferries.

Sign the petition at:  https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-7474

The more residents who add their names, the stronger the message that reliable and affordable ferry transportation is important to coastal and island communities throughout British Columbia.

Ten More Sleeps to the Community Parade! 

Those entering a "float" or equivalent should muster at the fire hall on Mission Road by 10:30 am on Saturday August 29th. The parade kicks off at 11 am sharp. The parade route is the usual one: Mission Road to North Cove Road travelling south, then down the big hill at the start of Pilkey Point Road, then around Marina Drive (which way depends upon the piper choosing the first right turn or the second), and then back up the hill and back to the firehall.

Children 4-12 yrs old wishing to enter the Chief For A Day contest should have their artwork with their name and age and a parent's contact information on the back, in the box at the firehall front door by 6 pm August 25th. A name will be drawn from all the entries for a child (and parent) to ride in the new fire truck at the front of the parade. Artwork should be about firefighters or fire trucks or fire safety and will be displayed at the firehall during Fire Prevention Week.

Sparky will be making an appearance (with goodies) so dust off your deck chairs and be prepared to shake their hand. This will be a fun event for everyone!
