Looking for Gus: Lost & Hopefully Found?

This is an odd request, but sometime last spring I rehomed my two male cats with Jollity Farm.

They informed me that while one stuck around, the other ran away. I am wondering if anyone has been feeding, or has adopted a black fluffy cat with an overbite from around that time?

It would put my heart at rest to know that he's happy somewhere.

Thanks, Sara Holmes

Forage Fish Habitat Monitoring on Thetis Island

Forage fish, including Pacific sand lance and surf smelt, are an integral part of the marine ecosystem because of their role in energy transfer through the food web. The Mount Arrowsmith Biosphere Region Research Institute (MABRRI), from Vancouver Island University (VIU), is surveying beaches to identify forage fish spawning habitat along the Vancouver Island and Gulf Island coastlines.

MABRRI is interested in engaging with Thetis Island residents, demonstrating how to sample for forage fish embryos and discuss the importance of this exercise. This demonstration could lead to Thetis Island residents making an impact on future forage fish populations, as data collection can lead to policy modifications.

If you are interested in participating in an on-the-beach information session, please contact either Vicki Walker (250-246-9126) or Ann Eriksson (ThINC@thetisisland.net). A date and time will be announce in the near future.

If you have any general questions about the project, please contact MABRRI's Project Coordinator, Haley Tomlin (haley.tomlin@viu.ca).

Hiking Boots

My son, who comes over and helps me around my house, is in real need of some hiking boots.

I'm wondering if someone might have a pair laying around they would like to sell. Size 11.5 or 12, depending on brand.

You can email me at elite01@shaw.ca or call 778-557-6510

Thank you
