New Meat Order in at Telegraph Harbour Marina

We’re restocked and ready to roll at the marina!

Swing by and treat yourself (and your grill) to the good stuff:
- Garlic coil is BACK — local fav and smoky perfection
- Thick-cut bacon — because you deserve better than supermarket strips
-Heritage strip loin steaks — tender, flavour-packed, and ready for the pan. Rib eye is also a good price again, down from the Christmas highs. I have some thick steak / small roast one bone cuts that are just fantastic.
- Chuck roasts & chuck steaks — slow cook or grill, these are weeknight heroes. Let's face it, it's good weather for roasts and comfort food.

New to the cooler:

- Ground lamb — rich, earthy, and perfect for something different
- Beef & pork ground mix — budget-friendly and seriously tasty
- Caselot maple pork breakfast sausage — sweet, savoury, and perfect for weekend mornings
- Beef cheeks — frozen - fall-apart tender and full of flavour
- THICK dino ribs — frozen - prehistoric-sized and winter slow cooker classic.

Local, quality, and island approved.

Help Us Transform the Pollinator Garden into a Thriving Outdoor Classroom!

Hello Thetis Islanders,

Exciting things are blooming at the Pollinator Garden, and we need your hands to help bring it to life! This year, we’re turning our beloved garden into a vibrant outdoor classroom - a space where nature and learning come together. But we can’t do it without your support!

We’re gathering on Saturday, March 29th at the Nature House (The Portal - 254 North Cove Road), and we’d love for you to join us in making this vision a reality. Whether you're a gardening pro or a first-timer, we’ll be pruning, clipping, digging, and more, as we prepare the garden for a season of growth and discovery.

Here’s the plan:
When: Saturday, March 29th, starting at 10 AM
Where: Nature House (The Portal - 254 North Cove Road) - parking is available at Heneage House
What to bring: Loppers, pruners, shovels, gloves - and your enthusiasm!

By joining us, you’re not only helping beautify the space but also contributing to a valuable outdoor learning space for our community.

Got questions? Reach out to me anytime at charlotte@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org. I can’t wait to see you there!

Warmly,
Charlotte - ThINC Education and Stewardship Coordinator
