Found $20.00 on my walk today. Two couples ahead of me-looked for them but didn't find them.

If you lost the money, tell me where and I will return it to you.

THANK YOU from Jollity Farm

We just wanted to take a moment to say how much we appreciate ALL of you!

Farming is tough at the best of times, and I'm sure you can all appreciate the additional challenges of drought and the mosquito plague.

At the beginning of market each week as we will fill the tables with the fresh harvest - while we may be tired and frantic- we are also giddy with excitement as we get ready to share all the food we've grown.

We appreciate that you show up each week, share your stories, and help to shape ours by giving your support and great feedback and ideas.

Thank you from Jollity Farmers

Coastal Fire Weather Forecast

OUTLOOK: Sunday to Tuesday: Sunday will be sunny and very warm as a sharp surface thermal trough lies over Vancouver Island. Moderate outflow winds will persist along the Mainland. Likely smoky on Sunday with the outflow continuing. Highs will be in the low 30’s with minimum RHs in the upper teens and 20s. Likely only fair recoveries on Sunday morning. No lightning forecast.Monday will still be mainly sunny and warm in the south. But the pattern starts to change as a deep upper low swings down from Haida Gwaii towards northern Vancouver Island. The airmass will become unstable and isolated showers or thundershowers will develop in the afternoon. Winds will switch from N-NE outflow to a SW inflow late in the day. On Tuesday the upper low gets closer to the Island and more widespread showers develop, possibly reaching the far southern zones. Still a risk for embedded lightning. Cooling to seasonal temps with inflow winds; much higher RHs

The saga continues in the seaquarium this week, and it’s your last chance to see the drama unfold! We’ll be releasing the species next week, so come by this Saturday to check on our very hungry and growing heart crab, the neon nudibranchs, and (my favourite!) the elusive green gunnels.

Healing Plant Connections With Marcia & Ian (all ages)

Immerse yourself in the tranquil embrace of nature as we explore the profound relationship between humans and plants at the Peoples Apothecary Garden, delving into the spiritual and holistic dimensions that bind us. Marcia and Ian have created a deck of cards with mediations & visualizations that correspond to different plants & animals on Thetis Island which they have created a workshop based on.
For those who are not able to attend the event and are interested in exploring these cards, a deck can now be found at the Thetis Island library!
2:00 pm start
S4: Cultural Ecology Talk and Indigenous Plant Walk (all ages)
Location: Telegraph Marina

Join us for a special walk and talk with Ken Thomas and Elder Augie Sylvester from the Penelakut Tribe to explore the cultural history of what is now called Thetis Island.

This event is hosted by the Nature House and Nature Stewards Program with funding from the Island Trust Conservancy.

Anchor Dropped Overboard at North Cove

Hello Thetis Islanders,

Has anyone found a small, foldable anchor off North Cove beach? It was lost last week (~Thurs). During low tide we went looking for it, but of course found nothing. 

If you found it, please call Remy at 250 246 3469. 

Thanks!
