YAHOO!

The Book and Bake Sale was fabulous!  I would like to thank the 19 volunteers.  You know who you are.  What a team. We couldn't have done it without the amazing baking and numerous books and DVDs donated.  All the baking was sold.

The total was: 
Baking (along with coffee, muffins, and sandwiches) $1203.00
Book and DVDs $882.45
TOTAL
$2085.45

Oh, oh! I forgot to thank all the people who came to the book and bake sale.  

You are a generous group.  This is a special island for sure.

Registration link for Nature House Module 6: Kelp! I've fallen and I can't get up!

Join us this coming week (August 6-7) as we take a deep dive into exploring the seaweed on Thetis Island! Our activities will include an interactive look into the seaweed food web and its importance in our ecosystems.

We will also take a hands-on approach to discovering how unique seaweed is as a building block and a home to all marine life. This will involve exploring the environment through a tidal walk and / or snorkelling (depending on tides).

If this sounds like something for you, come and learn about this vital ecosystem with the team!

Thank You!

Thank you all who came out for the Sunday, BC Day parade…those who made the great entries and those who energetically applauded them as they passed by (twice!). We had fun and Sparky had fun and I hope you all had fun.  

Special thanks to the TIVFD Auxiliary members…the trucks are sparkling and your assistance in getting the show on the road was greatly appreciated.
