Registration extension and new opportunities for adults

To ensure that folks who are interested have time to finalize their plans, ThINC has decided to extend the registration deadline for day time sessions to Friday, July 1.

AND the Monday morning 'Kids Only' session with Andy Lamb and Peter Luckham is now open to folks over the age of 13

Andy and Peter will be diving and pulling up species from the sub-tidal zone. If you are curious about local marine creatures, come to the community dock at 9am to check them out and learn about their lives in the Salish Sea! (If you'd like to participate in the art project that day, payment and preregistration is required to help cover the cost of materials). You are also welcome to join the Orienteering session on Friday morning and the funky art project if you are so inclined! Of course that means you'd have to decide between that or the Joy Of Bird Song walk with ornithologist James Clowater....

PLUS Don't forget about the four FREE evening sessions at the hall

Click here to view a detailed schedule on our website, and there are posters, well, everywhere!  To register: Phone: 250-246-9126 Email: ThINC@thetisisland.net

Henny Sends Thanks ~

Happily, Henny is thriving on the supervised healthcare she has been receiving. And tremendously grateful to all of you who have sent cards and gone out of your way to visit her.

She is leaving Cairnsmore this coming Thursday to live with her daughter Karen in Vancouver until they find a reasonable care home for her close by. I'll keep you posted with Henny's new phone number and address, coming soon to you via e-spokes.

Thank you again for contributing so positively to Henny's challenging transition.
