Post Office Mail/Parcel Delay

Our mail drivers' vehicle has broken down.  I will be going over tomorrow to pick up 3 days’ worth of parcels and mail.  I will start sorting tomorrow and Zola will come in Friday until we clear up the backlog. 

The post office will be closed tomorrow until I get back over which should be around 13:30.  It will be open but obviously short on delivery of recent parcels until tomorrow afternoon. 

Sorry for the delays but they were beyond our control.

ThINC Nature Stewards Program - Seeking Thetis Islanders keen on becoming program guides...

Hello Thetis Island Community,

As summer comes to a close and fall is just around the corner, we are beginning to get back to work on the Nature Stewards Program. You might be familiar with the program from the pamphlet we shared by post in the spring: Become a Nature Steward.

For this next step, we are looking for anyone interested in joining the team of volunteer Nature Stewards Guides. Guides will be trained to conduct site visits that will help Thetis Islanders boost biodiversity on their properties.  

To learn more about our program, click on the following link: https://www.thetisislandnatureconservancy.org/nature-stewards-program

If you are interested in taking part in this initiative, please contact: info@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org

Thanks and enjoy the rest of your summer!
Charlotte,

Education and Stewardship Coordinator
