Saturday: Cool Girls Nature Club

Good morning, brave ladies,

It is me again 😄

The water is really warming up. Soon we may have to change our name to the Hot Girls Club.

This week, we’ll meet Saturday at 9:00 a.m. at the Government Dock.

Fun fact: Research shows that women who gather, socialize, and play together tend to live longer, healthier, and happier lives. Apparently ocean dipping counts as self-care.

This is a relaxed, low-pressure women’s gathering. Come sip your tea, breathe the ocean air, dip, swim, paddle, float, or simply be.

Wetsuit, bathing suit, or birthday suit, all welcome.

Come exactly as you are.

And for those of you wanting to skip the swimming part, around 9:45 a.m. we usually meet afterward at Telegraph Harbour Marina Café for a little warm-up. If you’d like to join and get a feel for what we’re all about, you’re very welcome to come.

A little ocean time, a little connection, a little courage, that’s all this is. Hope to see you there, even if it’s just toes in the water.

**Fire Hazard Readings Now HIGH**

We have not had the moisture we were counting on to stay at MODERATE hazard, and the fire weather stations around us are all now reporting at HIGH hazard and Thetis Island has moved up to HIGH.

Therefore, on Thursday this week we will start restricting High Hazard Activities. Cease all High Hazard Activities before 1 p.m. and post a two-hour fire watch. Have water close by your work site.

Please report any daytime smoke columns to 911.

Evening campfires are still permitted at this time. Don’t have a campfire in windy conditions and make sure there are no embers left when you leave. The ashes must be cold and wet.

ThINC Returnables Program - A Friendly Reminder & A Great Tip!

Hi neighbours,

Thank you to everyone who supports our Returnables Program - your contributions make a real difference for our nature conservancy!

We wanted to take a moment to clarify what our beverage returnables program is able to accept, as we know it can sometimes be confusing.

We DO accept:
Empty beverage containers (cans, bottles, etc.)

We do NOT accept:
Broken drinking glasses or damaged kitchenware.
Creamers, soups, etc.
Glass food containers (such as olive jars, pickle jars, or similar)
Everyday household recycling

Items that don't qualify should be disposed of through your regular waste stream or recycling. If you're ever unsure whether an item qualifies, feel free to reach out to us at info@thetisislandnatureconservancy.org before dropping it off.

Did You Know? - You Can Donate Your Refund Directly to ThINC

If you prefer to drop your returnables off at a Return It location yourself, you can still donate your refund directly to ThINC!

Using the Return It Express app: Visit <https://www.return-it.ca/app/donation-details/>; and simply choose Thetis Island Nature Conservancy as the recipient of a one-time or automatic recurring donation.

Using a Return It depot with a label kiosk? The number to use is 250-246-8176

Every bottle and can adds up - thank you so much for your continued support!
