ThINC Newsletter - May Issue of The Ripple

This summer, the ThINC Nature House program returns with a full calendar of hands-on exploration, creative activities, and community connection - and it’s all featured in the latest issue of 'The Ripple', our triannual newsletter.

From the brand-new Sea Life Centre at Telegraph Harbour Marina to beloved programs like Junior Biologists and the S4 Speaker Series, this season celebrates the vibrant relationship between our island community and the land, sea, and sky we call home. Whether you're young or young at heart, there's something for everyone to discover.

Looking for Artemus (a Beloved Lost Cat)

Artemus is a ginger and white Manx with a stub tail.

He was with his parents at Telegraph Harbour Marina on May 17th and has been missing since.

He jumped ship once before and survived for two months and was rescued by a hunter who returned him to his parents.

Artemus's parents had to return home to Cowichan Bay without him and are back now looking for him. Any leads would be appreciated since he is dearly missed.

Kids Don’t Float Program

The RCM-SAR Station 29 (Ladysmith) rigid hull Rescue Boat made a trip to Thetis Island to officially kick off the 2025 warm season’s KIDS DON’T FLOAT program of loaner life jackets at the Community Dock and Telegraph Harbour Marina.

Seen here at the Community Dock with Fire Chief Caldbeck and Fire Lt. Norm Kasting (who designed and installed the life jacket station last year).

Let’s have a safe summer for our kiddies. Use a life jacket on the little ones when on the beach below or just leaning over the dock railings to watch the marine life.

UPDATE: Post Office Information Redux (Slow Down)

Canada Post is apparently going on a slow-down and rotating strike process.

What this means for us is that mail will be coming through but on a lower volume and slower basis. Some mail came on Friday, May 23 and will be sorted into boxes Saturday, May 24.

The PO will be open for business at regular hours until otherwise informed.

Note: Parcel post (Amazon et al) will continue, but delivery may be slower depending on where the slow-downs occur.
