Soup’s On: Cancelled for Today, February 4th

Sorry for the break in our scheduled Wednesday lunches, but we’ll be back on February 11th !

Looking forward to seeing you then!

The Soup’s On Team

Dangerous Goods

There will be DG to Thetis on Thursday.  

IN addition to DG going to Thetis on Thursday (and returning to Chemainus at 1330), there will be DG LEAVING Penelakut at 1305, which means the departure from Chemainus at 1230 will only carry those going to Penelakut, not Thetis.

Cheers

Community Talk: Pacific Herring Recovery on Feb 25

Remember the remarkable herring spawn around Thetis Island last spring? That vivid event was more than a natural spectacle, it highlighted what’s at stake for Pacific Herring in the Strait of Georgia.

According to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), herring have been overharvested to the point of extirpation south of Dodd Narrows, making recovery especially difficult.

Join ThINC for an eye-opening talk with Jim Shortreed, President of the Herring Conservation & Restoration Society, and discover how we can help Pacific Herring recover from critical decline.

When: Wednesday, February 25 • 7:00 PM
Where: Forbes Hall

For more information about the talk:

We hope to see you there!
