CVRD ~ Burning Workshop

The CVRD will host an educational workshop for Thetis Islanders on managing yard debris, burning and air quality on Thursday June 15th from 7 PM to 8:45 PM at Forbes Hall.

This is a follow up to CVRD Area G Director Mel Dorey's visit to Thetis on April 18th, where he spoke as a delegate to the Islands Trust Meeting about the proposed Area G Burning Bylaw (which may or may not include Thetis island). As the local trust meeting was not the forum for a full discussion Mel committed to having a general meeting on Thetis sponsored by the CVRD to discuss the issues more fully with CVRD experts in attendance.

The purpose of the workshop is: 

* Primarily educational

* To review air quality data and impacts

* To discuss tools for improving air quality and managing yard debris

The agenda for the evening will be:
