Yard Waste Burn Permits Opening October 1st

We have had some pretty good rains to soak the ground to an acceptable depth and start recharging the aquifer.  Category 2 Yard Waste Fire Permits will be available on October 1st for the month. Apply at www.thetisislandfire.ca

The Ministry of Environment has updated its interactive map for determining if Thetis Islanders can vent Category 2 smoke on any given day.  You must check the smoke control Venting Index before igniting your burn pile to find out if the Venting conditions allow you to do so.  The map update now is coloured and says No, or Yes -1day or Yes -4 days so you can plan ahead.  The map data is changed daily at 07:30 a.m.  Thetis Island is in the Southern Vancouver Island Smoke Sensitivity Area.

Youth Hoping for Ride to Victoria Climate Strike on Sept 27

Is anyone attending the Climate Strike in Victoria on Sept 27th with spare room in their vehicle? Or is anyone going to Victoria that morning for another reason but with extra space for transporting some lovely youth?  

We are short 3 spaces in our ride share to help the Cowichan Valley Earth Guardians (who co-organized the recent Climate Strike in Duncan) participate in the Victoria event. These three youth live in the Chemainus/Duncan/Mill Bay area.
