(All ages welcome!)

Local marine extraordinaire, Andy Lamb will be leading a dive demonstration and critter collection at Telegraph Harbour Marina. Andy will first show us his dive gear and the process of getting ready to go underwater - including the importance of safety! We will then aid Andy in the collection of various (seaquarium friendly) species brought to the surface. Lots of buckets of cold water will be sloshing about! This event is exciting for all ages, and you never know what critters we might find!
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Expert Excursions: Soil Walk with Ian Ralston (all ages)
Location: 412 Klahowya Road, Meadow Valley (meet on driveway)
We will visit a cut bank and learn about different soil profiles and their various uses. We will also explore soil texture sheets and learn about hand texturing soils. This program will give you the tools for considering sites for growing or building based on the soil characteristics. We will explore the vast world beneath our feet and begin to understand just how vital soil is for sustaining life. Come on down to learn about this integral part of all of our lives!
