ThINC Nature Camp

Day one of Thetis Island Nature Camp! Organized by the Thetis Iand Nature Conservancy (ThINC) with support from the Thetis Island Community Fund (TICF)

Smoky Skies above Thetis

Today's smoke on Thetis Island is from fires near Pemberton, Port Hardy and Sproat Lake.  Thetis Islanders with respiratory problems should avoid exercise and stay indoors. 

Please remain alert to signs of fire but aware that the smell of smoke currently is from off Thetis Island. 

Thanks to all who have been actively watching for signs of fire.

Community News & Information Sharing: e-SOKES & thetisblog

These two volunteer based communication systems share information that is initiated by the people that use them, which is basically the whole of the Thetis Island community.

The simpler it is for us to pass this information along, makes it easier for the volunteers who are taking the time to make life more connected for islanders.

Please try to send your notice to both espokes@gmail.com and editor@thetisblog.net to be sure that the notice goes to both.  We try our hardest to communicate between each other, but would appreciate it notices are shared directly by the sender.

VOLUNTEERS: Ann Dickie for thetisblog, Claire & Carol for eSPOKES
