This is a fundraising event for Forbes Hall
Saturday, August 5, 2023 at 8:02AM An exhibit of Thetis Island art is on display at the Forbes Hall, paintings of cabins, beaches, boats, and favourite places and views. This art was created by residents, family, neighbours, and visiting friends. We thank all who contributed to this display.
While you are enjoying this art take the time to look at Deborah Martin's artwork which will be on sale at the Hall throughout the summer. Deborah is donating all proceeds from the sale to TICA's debt reduction program.

Saturday, August 5, 2023 at 7:59AM I’m very sorry and disappointed but due to an unforeseen infrastructure problem the Shop will be closed this weekend. Otherwise all is well and I look forward to the glitch being sorted out early next week. In the meantime thank you for your patience and have a wonderful B.C. Day weekend!

10:00 am - 12:00 Noon drop-in Harvest Hours at The PAG (all ages)
Location: The People’s Apothecary Garden, Lot 62
2:00 pm - 4:00 pm S4: Great Grizzlies with Frances Backhouse
(2:00 - 2:45: family-friendly activity; 3:00 - 4:00 pm: presentation)
Location: The Nature House at The Portal, 254 North Cove Road
Grizzly bears, one of North America – and British Columbia’s – most iconic wildlife species, once roamed across half the continent. Today, their range and numbers are much diminished and they face many challenges. Join Frances Backhouse, author of Grizzly Bears: Guardians of the Wilderness, to learn about what makes grizzlies special and what they need to survive and thrive.
Frances Backhouse is an author and environmental journalist who lives in Victoria. She previously worked as a biologist, including an amazing five-month stint studying grizzly bears in the Khutzeymateen Valley – the inspiration for her latest book.
Visit www.backhouse.ca to learn more about Frances and her writing.
In addition to our normal wares, we will be selling Frances's books: 'Grizzly Bears: Guardians of the Wilderness' and 'Beavers: Radical Rodents and Ecosystem Engineers' at the Howling Wolf Market between 10:00 am - 2:00 pm on Saturday. Look for the blue tent! (Oh - and if you miss us on Saturday, Frances's books will also be available at the talk on Sunday!)

Saturday, August 5, 2023 at 7:55AM My zucchini chips just don't last long enough to make it to the freezer for a winter supply. If you have more zucchini than you know what to do with, I'm very willing to take them off your hands. In return I can give you a sample of incredibly delicious zucchini chips...But beware, you will also become addicted...Then you will find yourself posting on e-spokes desperately searching for free zucchini.
