"FISH: an animal that grows the fastest between the time it's caught and the time the fisherman describes it to his friends."
The Bridge Group meets at 1:00 PM in the Hunter Room/Library
Saturday, February 25, 2017 at 9:11PM Thanks to the many people who contacted us about interest in supporting a local weather station and shared resources. Through our request, we learned of an existing school-based weather station program at UVic created by Andrew Weaver that is more than we could have hoped for - complete with equipment installation, a sophisticated network, and K-7 curriculum resources for linking with science and math.
We have put our idea for a community meeting "on hold" as we pursue permission from our School District to participate in this existing program. We will share more info and opportunities with the Thetis Island community once we are farther along.

Thursday, February 23, 2017 at 8:08AM Dear Thetis Islanders,
On behalf of the Heart & Stroke Foundation, I'm connecting with Our island community to deliver life-saving information and raise funds for vital research.
That research could someday help people like Natasha Matthews.
"Sometimes I feel that my dad died so that they could start testing me."
— Natasha Matthews
Natasha was just 2 years old when her dad died. A few years later, doctors diagnosed her with the same potentially fatal heart condition. Like her dad, her aorta can separate at any time. Now 10, Natasha and her doctors are doing all they can to ensure that doesn't happen. Thankfully, it's working.
Would you support me? Your donation will make a huge difference to the families who benefit from research. Through the end of this month there is a donor matching funds given online so if you would like to donate now is an excellent time to do it as the value your gift will be doubled.
Simply go to my secure personal fundraising page at the link below and support a cause we both care about.
Thank you for your generous support,
Sue French

Tuesday, February 21, 2017 at 11:17AM If anyone happens to be in Victoria on Thursday, Feb 23, please feel welcome to attend a special book launch for "Medicine Unbundled" authored by Dr. Gary Geddes.
The event will include brief presentations by Gary, Songhees Elder Joan Morris and Dr. Nancy Turner as well as an opportunity for discussion and book purchase. Released to coincide with the Year of Reconciliation (2017), Medicine Unbundled looks at the history and legacy of segregated Indigenous health care in Canada, the lesser-known twin to the residential school system.
Medicine Unbundled recounts the stories of Indigenous elders across the country – the result is a testament to survival, perseverance, and the power of memory to keep history alive and contribute to a more open and just future.
100% of the royalties from Medicine Unbundled will support the Sellemah Scholarship, which will benefit an Indigenous student in the Faculty of Social Sciences at UVic.
Date: Thursday, February 23, 2017
Time: 3:00 p.m.to 4:00 p.m.
Location: UVic’s Engineering & Computer Science Building (ECS) Room 124
I'm proud to be involved in co-organizing this event for Gary and Joan through the Centre for Global Studies and I hope some of our Thetis island community can come to celebrate with us.
