Open burn ban (campfires not included)

Groundbreaking ceremony

Many Coast Guard members were in Tahsis for the event. Most came on the ship anchored off the dock by the post office.

The ceremony began with a song of blessing and the sweeping of the cedars to make the place safe for future workers and the people they may rescue.

A good crowd gathered under the tent to hear remarks from: Assistant Commissioner Roger Girouard, Chief Jerry Jack, Chief Mike Maquinna and Mayor Martin Davis who then turned the first shovels of dirt on the site.

The musicians ended with a whale song. The leader joked it reminded him of the times they were fighting fishing and oceans about Luna the whale. The women danced.

Refreshments were served. (Many thanks to Chuck St-Denis for his photos.)

Nootka Sound Watershed work

From Samantha K. -

Hello! As a follow up to the Tahsis Salmon Enhancement Society's post yesterday:

The Nootka Sound Watershed Society will be starting their field season in Tahsis tomorrow, May 22nd 2019.

Meeting: 9:30am, West Bay Beach Parking lot

Gear Requirements:

Waders or gum boots - I have a small selection of extras
Weather appropriate clothing
Hat/sunscreen
Snacks! We'll be in the field until about 2pm.

Our objectives are to first identify species using the estuary, inventory the wild/hatchery salmon out migrating from Tahsis and Leiner Rivers, and to provide an educational experience for our community.

Later in the season we'll be continuing to map the Tahsis Estuary to identify and track changes to salmon habitat.

If you are interested in joining our field crew please let me know - the more the merrier!
