Learning How to Compost with ThINCpod!

Hey there Islanders! ThINCpod’s heard that you folks are interested in learning more about composting! So, we decided to put together a little presentation on the basics behind composting. We’ll cover what composting is, what it does for you, and how you can start your own system. If that sounds like something you might be interested in, come on by the Nature House on Friday, August 13th and learn a thing or two about composting your organic waste.
Please bring note taking equipment!
See the sign-up sheet below for information about times

Discarding Cooked Bones on the Beach

Cooked bones splinter and can cause serious problems or even death to any animals who eat them. If you feel the need to dispose of your cooked bones in this manner, please at least ensure you drop them well below the low tide line.

COVID Clinic Final Reminder

The final community clinic for COVID vaccinations is tomorrow, Tuesday the 10th of August, from 10am to 1:30pm, at the Forbes Hall Community Centre. 

If you or your visitors, guests, employees, friends or acquaintances on the island still need your second or even first shot, please go to
https://www.islandhealth.ca/learn-about-health/covid-19/covid-19-vaccine/taking-whole-community-approach
to register. 

You might be able to just turn up, but it would be safer to register, to be sure the nurses bring enough vaccine on the day.
