ThINC Nature House - Weekend Activities

Saturday, July 8
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm Seaquarium Drop-in
Location: The Nature House at The Portal, 254 North Cove Road

In preparation for our new residents, we will be giving a demonstration of how the seaquarium works and provide some info on the critters we might find this summer. This will also be a good time to explore the Nature House and its eclectic collection of curios, and the stunning nearby shoreline.

Sunday, July 9
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm S4: ‘Solar Power: A Real Solution to Climate Change? Reality Check’ with Tom Mommsen and Risa Smith (adult)
Location: Forbes Hall

Tom and Risa, directors of the Salish Sea Renewable Energy Coop (SSREC), will be coming to Thetis to speak about solar energy on the Southern Gulf Islands. They’ll be explaining everything you wanted to know about solar – from theory, to relevance, to impact, to practice. Largely as a result of the work of SSREC the Southern Gulf Islands have become a residential solar powerhouse in BC. Learn how Thetis can join the revolution. Tom and Risa’s talk will be followed by a community discussion. Come with your questions. For more information about SSREC check out the website: www.ssrec.org and Facebook www.facebook.com/ssrec.org/

We will also be at the Howling Wolf Market every Saturday between 10am - 2pm. Drop by to learn more about our programs. We will also be selling a few goodies, including our ThINC t-shirts! Look for the blue tent!
