Update on Campfire Permits

The Province is continuing to allow evening campfires. If you are already holding a TIVFD campfire permit for May it will be extended to June 15th. There is no need to reapply.

If you do not already have a TIVFD campfire permit that ends on May 31, apply to permits@thetisislandfire.ca with your name, lot number, phone number and acknowledgement that you have read the Provincial rules for campfire size, tools and water required at the site, monitoring the fire and sparks, and complete extinguishment of the embers remaining at the end of the burn. Do not light your campfire in windy conditions.

Be aware that the Province may ban campfires during this period at any time due to conditions, and the TIVFD will post the notification on eSPOKES and on the Fire Hazard Board by the ferry.

Yard waste burns, burn barrels, tiki torches, etc are BANNED by the Province.

Please be very cautious with your campfire…our forest fuels are rapidly drying and heating up. Report all daytime smoke columns to 911.

WE ARE STILL IN HIGH HAZARD.

DAYTIME OUTDOOR HIGH HAZARD ACTIVITIES WITH GAS POWERED TOOLS AND/OR METAL BLADED EQUIPMENT THAT COULD PRODUCE SPARKS MUST CEASE BEFORE 1 PM AND A 2 HOUR FIREWATCH POSTED.

TIME Jr. Returns This Summer
June - August 2026

TIME Jr., our youth marine biology and stewardship program at the Sea Life Centre, will be returning this summer! This program gives young people the opportunity to explore the fascinating marine life of the Salish Sea while developing hands-on skills in marine care, ecology, and environmental stewardship.

Last summer, our TIME Jr. crew:

• Helped care for the SLC’s marine animals by feeding critters and maintaining the touch tank and seaquarium

• Explored the life histories, behaviours, and unique adaptations of local marine invertebrates

• Created a TIME Jr. “Tree of Life” while learning how different marine species are connected

• Participated in community science initiatives

• Produced artwork for the centre

• Shared their knowledge with visitors as interpreters and ambassadors for the Salish Sea

If you are interested in learning more about TIME Jr. or seeing what it’s all about, please contact Maya at maya@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org.
