Nature of Water, March 22, Forbes Hall

March 22 is World Water Day and this year the theme is: 'Glacier Preservation'. On Thetis Island it has been 10,000 years since we were covered by glaciers. Therefore, our focus is limited to what we harvest from rainfall and what is stored underground in the aquifers combined with wise use of limited water resources.

On March 22, Community Climate Resilience and Thetis Island Nature Conservancy is launching our "Nature of Water" series, We are hosting a series of events focusing on our water resources. The event will feature a discussion of our project, a short film "What the Water Tells Us", and a keynote address "Dinosaur Pee and the Future of Thetis Island's Water" by David Slade.

A key part of the project is to address areas that are important to Island residents. Please fill out our survey. The survey can be found in the latest Thetis Island Quarterly or in the foyer of Forbes hall. The drop box for completed surveys is also in the foyer of Forbes Hall.

The survey can be filled out and submitted at:

We look forward to seeing you!
