SUMMARY:SOUTH OKANAGAN
DESCRIPTION:Perseid Meteor Shower\n\n\nWe’ll head out to the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory at White Lake for the Perseid Meteor Showers. This is a great location to watch them from as there are no nearby lights.\n\nGates open at 7:15pm. We will meet at 7:45 pm under the big telescope (satellite dish) located towards the visitor centre building. Bring yourself a blanket or lawn chairs to sit on\, snacks/drinks (the Penticton air cadets do run a concession). It might actually cool down when the sunsets so bring a sweater/jacket. Maybe a star viewing app on your phone. Sky View Lite App for iPhone and Androids is one you might like. Load this before coming out as there is no cell service at the observatory.\n\nThere are talks that start at 8pm but with the younger kids it might be a bit much. There will be telescopes setup to see the stars and the planets. The meteor show will start at dark. The gates will close at 11:30pm\, if you plan to stay that late.\n\n\nLocation: White Lake Observatory\, 717 White Lake Road\n\n\nhttps://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/eng/events/presentations/2018/meteor_shower.html\n\n\n  \n

SUMMARY:COMOX VALLEY
DESCRIPTION:BC Rivers Day Shoreline Clean-up with Comox Valley Nature \nWe’re teaming up with  Comox Valley Nature to complete a Shoreline Clean up of the Courtenay Estuary around the Air Park to celebrate BC Rivers Day\n\nLocation: Please meet at 9:50 am at the Courtenay Air Park – Kayak rental/cafe parking lot (travelling south on Cliffe Ave\, a left hand turn onto 20th st.). The event starts at 10\, but it would be good to have a few minutes to complete the sign in sheet and say hellos before we get started! We will be directed by the organizers\, but come prepared with boots/good outdoor gear etc. You may also want to bring work gloves. I’ll have a few pairs of latex gloves available\, but best if folks can bring something from home so we aren’t creating more waste.\n\nThis is a stewardship activity\, where kids and families have an opportunity to “give back” to nature\, learn a bit about human impacts on nature (plastics and garbage) and participate in a coordinated effort to help reduce those impacts – See Great Canadian Shoreline Clean Up: https://www.shorelinecleanup.ca

SUMMARY:VANCOUVER
DESCRIPTION:Beach Walk and Inter-tidal Interpretation\n\n\nWe will join Ocean Wise for a low-tide beach walk at Lumbermen’s Arch in Stanley Park.  We’ll explore the exposed rocky shore to discover some of the critters that aren’t visible at higher tides\, and learn about the differing adaptations and habitats required to survive in this challenging environment.  A few of the animals we’ll keep an eye out for are shore crabs\, chitons\, mussels\, snails and barnacles. If we’re lucky we may even find some sea stars\, urchins and fish! \nOur mentor\, Jordan Fish\, grew up on Salt Spring Island and has always had a love for all things fishy! It may be due to her last name or her love of island life.  Jordan is passionate about facilitating ocean adventures for kid \nGetting there: We’ll meet at the Stanley Park Water Park just down from the Vancouver Aquarium.  There is pay parking throughout Stanley Park and a parking lot close to the meeting area. The #19 bus stops by the miniature railway\, a 5-minute walk from the meeting point.  There is also a Shuttle Bus throughout the park. \nWhat to bring: Be prepared for a variety of weather conditions as the shore can often be cooler and more windy than inland.  Layer clothing and pack a hat and waterproof jacket; we go rain or shine. For footwear\, wear something that has a good grip and you don’t mind getting a little wet. The rocky shore can be challenging to walk on in places and sometimes slippery; however\, boots are not required. There will always be options for those not wanting to venture too far into the intertidal area.\nA small magnifying glass\, trowel\, and camera can be useful to bring as well.  We’ll bring some bags to collect garbage. \n\nRSVP here\n  \n\n\n\n\n
