Saturday, August 26th at Forbes Hall: Health Talk – Dealing with Extreme Heat and Smoke

As our summer temperatures rise and wildfires increase, heat and smoke have become major health concerns for Thetis Islanders.

On Saturday, August 26th, Dr. Shannon Waters, Medical Health Officer for the Cowichan Valley Region, will be coming to Forbes Hall to speak on the health effects of heat and smoke and how we as a community and as individuals can respond to these extreme events. This is the first in the upcoming “Let’s Talk About Smoke” event series.

Start time 11:30 am morning talk (approximately an hour), followed by a hosted lunch. 

For more information, please contact David Reay 778--899-3216 davidreay@telus.net

Funded through Island Health’s Community Wellness Grant received by Forbes Hall Health Services Group/TICA in partnership with ThINC and SPU.

ThINC Nature House - Today's Events - Friday, August 18th

10:00 am start

Young Naturalists: Geology Rocks! Bouldering Workshop (all ages)

Location: Pilkey Point

You’ve heard of boulders, but what about BoulderING? Bouldering is a type of rock climbing done on small boulders or rock formations. We’ll be joined by expert bouldering instructors from Balancing Acts who are ending their world tour - from Montreal - Paris - London - LA - and New York - on Thetis! They will provide shoes, crash pads, and instruction to teach kids and adults how to get started. Plus, we’ll learn about the geology of the island, and how our unique shoreline has been formed by the sea! 

2:00 pm start

Expert Excursion: Kayak the Cufra! (all ages)

Location: Launch location - North Cove (please park at the end of the main road rather than the beach area)

Drift into the Cufra with us this Friday! This unique feature of the island’s coastline is best explored by boat. Bring your kayaks (and life jackets!) down to North Cove Beach and we will launch together and let the tide take us into the Cufra as it rises! Note: this is a BYO-B (boat!) event!

As both of today's activities will be on the coast, don't forget to bring sun protection and water!

Wanting to Buy!

Hello lovely Islanders! I am on the hunt for a couple of things: 

- a stand up deep freeze (stat!) 

- a used vehicle

Would love to support our community if it ends up aligning. I'm needing a vehicle with 4x4 or AWD - so likely an SUV or a truck. Ideally it would be under $10k, need no work and have reasonable kms.

I may be looking for a miracle but miracles seem to happen on Thetis so who knows! 

Best way to reach me is by texting Jess at 250-327-3860. 

I appreciate you!
