ThINC Thanks

Thetis Island Nature Conservancy (ThINC) would like to thank all those who came out for a dance and good time on Halloween night.

We had flora: flowers, mushrooms, lichen, and a cedar tree.

We had fauna: little brown bat, a family of ladybugs and a kitty cat.

We had ghouls: Darth Vader and a skeleton. We had sprites: a lovely woodland witch.

There was even a rock (obsidian)! A 50’s gal and more!

We appreciate all of your support for the conservancy and look forward to upcoming workshops with the community in the next year.

Cow-Op Information

Hello Neighbours,

Are you looking for a convenient way to buy locally produced foods, especially during this time when our own hard working farmers Noah and Elizabeth are taking a well-deserved break from full production? Check out the Cow-op, a new online market place in the Cowichan Valley! Here is a link to a recent Shaw TV promotion, and the Cow-Op website:

What's even better is that the orders get picked up on Thursday in the very same building where I work in Duncan. So perhaps we could work out a co-operative pick up arrangement.... 

They are also just about to launch a mobile app, a very user friendly way to shop local wherever you are and whenever it suits you!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to get in touch with me at 250-246-5269 or at stephanie.cottell@gmail.com.

Cheers,

Steph
