Thursday, July 9, 2026 at 9:01AM Here's what's on today!
2-3:30 TIME Jr: Ocean Navigation (youth 8-15)
Location: Sea Life Centre, Telegraph Harbour Marina
Young Ocean enthusiasts aged 8–15 are invited to join TIME Jr. - the junior division of the Thetis Island Marine Explorers dive club. Each week, participants help care for the residents of the Sea Life Centre's seaquarium while diving into a new marine topic, both at the SLC and out in the field. For more information about this special program, contact Maya at maya@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org
This week we're exploring ocean navigation! Learn how to use marine charts to plot a course, how tides and currents work, and more. We'll finish with a paper boat race - build your own at home and bring it along. Two rules only: the boat must be powered by natural means (wind or current) and must include a paper component somewhere. Get creative and reuse materials!
