Thank You from the Kempes

Dear Thetis Islanders 

A huge thank you to all of you who could come out to our farewell party.

We were overwhelmed by your kind words and support. We do often hear that we will be missed, and truth be told we will miss you too.

Thetis is dear to our hearts and we look forward to many visits and chats as we bump into each other. We also got a new landline 250-416-7604 and 9931 Maple Street is where you can find us.

Much love 

The Kempes

Tonight at the Nature House: Humpback Whales

with Marine Educations and Research Society (MRS) researcher Jackie Hildering

In addition to sharing MERS’ research on Humpback feeding strategies and rate of entanglement, Jackie will discuss how the fortunate return of these giants from the brink of extinction necessitates increased boater awareness about avoiding collision and what to do if entanglement is witnessed.

 As an educator, cold water diver and underwater photographer, Jackie is known as “The Marine Detective” with on-camera experience including being featured on Animal Planet’s “Wild Obsession” series and in the BBC productions “New threat to Canada's Pacific Humpback Whales?” and “Ingenious Animals”.  She has been referenced as the standup comic of marine conservation.

This event indeed promises to be informative and entertaining!

At the Portal, 254 North Cove Rd. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the presentation starts at 7:00 pm. Free entry. Donations to ThINC and MERS welcome.
