Still Looking for Thetis Island Nature Kids / Nature BC Leader

Hello Thetis,

We are really hoping to find someone who can pick up where I left off with running the Nature Kids monthly Explorer Day. I have most everything set up and I'm just looking for someone who doesn't mind sharing a few hours a month to help kids connect with the natural world.

Please contact me asap if you think this might be a good fit for you.

Kindly Airi/250-246-2730

Leaving Thetis & Nature Kids

We are sad to announce that we are moving off this lovely little island so my husband can take a position on the mainland. I know I speak for all of my family when I say how much we will miss this community.

We are seeking a nice, affordable rental in Vancouver so if anyone has any connections or owns a place they would consider renting to our family, please let me know. 

Secondly I would like to ask someone to step forward and take over Nature Kids B.C Thetis and Penelekut Island. I have done all the set up and planned events for the first few months. It is only a few hours per month of your time and it fits so well with the work of the Thetis Island Nature Conservancy. 

Thank you so much for helping us to feel so welcome and so loved during our somewhat short stay here.

We have enjoyed it thoroughly.

Airi & family

The purpose of the meeting is to provide information and solicit feedback on the rezoning proposal.
